It can and should apply to each department. The department can (and will) merely move internal funds to compensate where there is a federal match. Thus, while each department takes a 5% (or whatever) across-the-board cut; some programs within the department will receive a bigger cut. Such is the life of a federal welfare state. Don't like it - then be self-reliant. While an across-the-board is inartful governance, it is achievable. It can and should apply to each department.
