To be clear, they're cutting an extra $9.4 Billion in services. Maybe it's used differently in British English but in the US "claw back" as an idiom generally refers to a win for an underdog party to keep something after a difficult fight, not a privileged party ending access to something.

9.4 Billion over what

We increased spending by about 1 TRILLION between military spending increases and tax reductions on the rich.

That's the proportional equivalent of saying we increased spending by $10 and then saved 1 penny from gutting out public news funding that we all depend on for information.

"claw back" steal, it's called stealing. And npr should take them to city under the ftca.
