Descriere
What do nude beaches and catfish have to do with the federal budget? Quite a bit, it turns out. Working the Federal Budget fills the need for an unvarnished, readable guide to how the federal government collects money and spends it. Centuries of political struggles over the size and funding of government have produced a dense set of budget-related laws, procedures, court decisions and outright improvisations. The resulting rules are legion and complex, rules that remain a secret to many. In this book, author George D. Krumbhaar unravels the complexity with a journalist’s eye for clarity and a lawyer’s eye for detail, explaining the system, plainly laying out the laws that lie behind it, and identifying the players that are central to decision making at various stages in the process. With chapters covering the grandiose (why we have such big deficits) and the picayune (PAYGO and its importance) with fascinating and often entertaining detail, this book is for readers with an interest in government relations and how the government functions – whether from Capitol Hill, the executive branch, "K Street," postgraduate studies or even civic concern. Working the Federal Budget provides an invaluable and critical exploration of the who, the what, and the why of the budget process.
