Download or read book Improving the Federal Budgeting Process written by William A. Galston and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 laid out the current process, which, while adequately responding to concerns of the time, created a system of rules that have proved inadequate in altered circumstances. The intense polarization of the two political parties makes it hard to reach agreement, and increased transparency inhibits real deal-making. This report does not address specific budgets or budget targets. Instead, it lays out a menu of mid-level reform options that can help the budget process work better. While these reforms cannot overcome our deep partisan and ideological division, they can help us frame our choices more clearly and make those choices more cleanly. Despite our differences, there is broad agreement on the objectives of budget process reform: timeliness; transparency; democratic control; better alignment of priorities with overall commitments across the full range of fiscal tools; and improved public trust and confidence in the process.

Book Synopsis Path Dependence and the Federal Budget Process by : Roy T. Meyers
Download or read book Path Dependence and the Federal Budget Process written by Roy T. Meyers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current federal budget process is widely believed to have contributed to the unsustainable fiscal future that many experts project for the United States. That assessment supported the Tea Party campaign to use the debt ceiling vote to force massive spending cuts, and has stimulated renewed attention on potential reforms of the process. Over the past several years, deficit hawks have proposed that special groups be empowered to develop deficit reduction plans and that special procedures automatically be invoked to force necessary savings. The Budget Control Act of 2011 included variants of these proposals. This paper argues that this approach is far from the best alternative for improving federal budgeting. It describes major flaws in the current process, and then advocates a radical reform: collapsing the appropriations and authorizations committees and processes, in order to support a budget process that would be more effective at allocating budgetary resources. It then seeks to describe why this radical reform has not been seriously considered, first by reviewing the path dependence literature, and then by interpreting federal budgeting since 1974 using the path dependence approach. The paper concludes that while politicians' aversion to radical budget reform may understandably reflect concerns about switching costs, just as important is the failure of politicians to think seriously about institutional alternatives. Political scientists should be more involved in budget reform, in order to improve the quality of discursive institutionalism.

Book Synopsis Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management by : Mr.Jack Diamond
Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

Book Synopsis The Federal Budget by : Allen Schick
Download or read book The Federal Budget written by Allen Schick and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an essential guide to understanding the federal budget process. Allen Schick brings together three critical elements of budget strategy: the political tactics and relationships that determine budgetary success or failure; the policy objectives pursued through the budget's revenue and spending proposals; and the rules and procedures that govern congressional and presidential action on these proposals. Politics, policy, and process are integrated in a series of chapters that walk the reader through the many stages and complexities of federal budgeting. The author explains how budgeting works at each stage of executive and legislative action, from preparation of the president's budget through the appropriation and expenditure of funds. Throughout the book, he highlights documents actually used in federal budgeting. The book provides an analysis of the early years of Bill Clinton's presidency, discusses budgetary actions already taken to deal with pressing social issues, and examines the outlook for the years ahead. Schick explains how the budget got so out of control and what can be done about it. He concludes with an assessment of the potential effects of current and proposed budgetary reforms.

Book Synopsis Fiscal Exposures by : U.s. Government Accountability Office
Download or read book Fiscal Exposures written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The federal government's long-term fiscal imbalances are driven on the spending side by the effects of an aging population and rising health care costs on Social Security and major federal health programs. However, GAO identified a variety of other fiscal exposures-responsibilities, programs, and activities that may legally commit or create the expectation for future federal spending-that vary as to source, extent of the government's legal commitment, and magnitude. A more complete understanding of these other fiscal exposures can help policymakers anticipate changes in future spending and enhance control and oversight over federal resources. GAO was asked to provide information on risks facing the federal budget. This report (1) examines selected programs that create a fiscal exposure, including the extent and estimated magnitude of the government's legal commitment; and (2) assesses how fiscal exposures could be better recognized in the budget. Based on its review of budget and financial data, GAO selected nine programs, including federal employee benefit programs, insurance programs, and the stock purchase agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and drew upon previous work to discuss potential approaches for improving budgetary attention to fiscal exposures.

Book Synopsis Budgeting and Financial Management in the Federal Government by : Jerry L. McCaffery
Download or read book Budgeting and Financial Management in the Federal Government written by Jerry L. McCaffery and published by IAP. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Budgeting and financial management in the U.S. federal government is highly complex and highly differentiated, e.g., in the process employed by the Executive branch versus those used by Congress. In this book we attempt to cover the processes of both the Executive and Congress and the relationships between the two. The book provides views from several perspectives, e.g., managerial and political. We attempt to provide readers with an understanding of how federal budget and financial management processes are supposed to operate. However, we then go a step further to show how these processes actually operate often in contrast to the intended template. Additionally, this book is intended to capture and combine the views of the academic and the practitioner, including those of the participants in the process."--Introduction.
