You're talking about $175 million in a budget of $3.54 TRILLION. That's .004% of the US budget. Thats doing nothing towards national debt repair. The deficit in 2016 was $552 billion, so that same $175m is .03% of that deficit, a drop in the bucket towards deficit reduction.

If you want deficit reduction, and national debt reduction, you can't cut these programs and get anywhere. You have to cut big dollar items or increase taxes. Defense is $536 billion, and the largest non-entitlement in the country. I'm not saying lay up the DOD, but certainly don't propose $54 billion in increases as the current administration has if debt is your issue. 
Looking at the national government, the biggest ticket item is something republicans (who currently control the federal government like it or not) tend to increase funding for. Republicans also oppose higher taxes on corporations and rich individuals. Under those conditions, don't expect a big downward change in deficits or debt.
