People would probably underfund boring but necessary programs like the interstate highway system and industrial regulations, and would mostly check boxes for a few highly visible programs that fit with their politics (NASA, the EPA, new fighter jets, etc). I expect that a lot of programs would end up being designated as "necessary", with choices allowed for only a few which are deemed inessential. And of course, drones would end up being classified as necessary.

I would call "necessary" everything that falls into everyday life needs (and that could be clearly defined and spelled out and agreed in the first place) - and it would be relatively easy to define "optional" -> warring outside of your own borders is probably hard to justify as ultimately necessary.
