Factbox: Details of President Obama's fiscal year 2015 budget

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama will send Congress his fiscal 2015 budget request on Tuesday, and lawmakers will promptly ignore it. But the annual ritual will highlight his policy priorities for the coming year and serve as a Democratic Party manifesto as Democrats seek to draw a contrast with Republicans ahead of congressional elections in November. Obama will outline how he would parcel out $1.014 trillion on government agencies' discretionary programs ranging from the military to national parks. If the president wants to spend more, he'll have to sell Congress on the idea of raising additional revenues.
