TY - GEN T1 - The federal budget : politics, policy, process A1 - Schick, Allen A2 - LoStracco, Felix LA - English PP - Washington, D.C. PB - Brookings Institution Press YR - 2000 ED - Rev. ed. UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm53482736 AB - "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."--Jacket OP - 307 CN - HJ2051 .S3424 2000eb SN - 081579827X SN - 9780815798279 SN - 0815777264 SN - 9780815777267 SN - 0815777256 SN - 9780815777250 KW - Budget : United States.
