Anotace

This revised and expanded edition of a Brookings best seller explains recent budgetary events in clear, understandable language. But the book is more than update--over half of the material is new. In addition to explaining how the deficit was liquidated and providing insights on how to protect against them in the future, it analyzes the changes in the appropriations process, friction between the president and Congress, and the reliance on omnibus legislation to resolve budget impasses. The book also contains vital statistics and trends, extracts from important documents, and case studies which dramatize contemporary budgetary politics and provides readers with a "you are there" appreciation of how budgeting works and decisions are made in Washington Praise for the first edition: "Schick makes the federal budget process understandable for those unfamiliar with budgeting while providing sufficient detail for policymakers interested in understanding more about its Byzantine rules....
