Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past thirty years, Congress has dramatically changed its response to unpopular deficit spending. While the landmark Congressional Budget Act of 1974 tried to increase congressional budgeting powers, new budget processes created in the 1980s and 1990s were all explicitly designed to weaken member, majority, and institutional budgeting prerogatives. These later reforms shared the premise that Congress cannot naturally forge balanced budgets without new automatic mechanisms and enhanced presidential oversight. So Democratic majorities in Congress gave new budgeting powers to Presidents Reagan and Bush, and then Republicans did the same for President Clinton. Passing the Buck examines how Congress is increasing delegation of a wide variety of powers to the president in recent years. Jasmine Farrier assesses why institutional ambition in the early 1970s turned into institutional ambivalence about whether Congress is equipped to handle its constitutional duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Budget Enforcement Act (BEA) of 1990 changed the budget process by establishing three major points of control - dollar limits on discretionary spending, a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) requirement for direct spending and receipts legislation, and adjustable maximum deficit targets for fiscal years 1991 through 1995. The act requires 0MB and CBO to issue Preview, Update, and Final Sequestration reports at various times during the year. Each report is to include a discretionary sequestration report an a PAYGO sequestration report. Reports in years; previous to this were required to specify the amount of the adjusted maximum deficit for the coming fiscal year. That requirements is no longer in effect because the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA 93) extended the discretionary and PAYGO provisions through fiscal year 1998 but did not extend the sequestration provisions for enforcing the deficit targets beyond fiscal year 1995.

Book excerpt: This report examines several budget process reform options that have received prominent congressional consideration in recent years: an extension of the Budget Enforcement Act; a joint budget resolution; an emergency reserve fund; an automatic continuing resolution; and biennial budgeting. For each reform option, the analysis includes a summary of the procedural issues related to the reform option, the arguments that have been raised for and against the proposal, and the legislative history of past proposals. First, key enforcement procedures under the Budget Enforcement Act (BEA) of 1990 expire at the end of FY2002 (i.e., September 30, 2002). These include the statutory caps on discretionary spending and the “pay-as-you-goâ€ŗ (PAYGO) requirement for direct spending and revenue legislation. Possible considerations related to an extension of these budget enforcement procedures include the time frame covered, possible categories for caps on discretionary spending, the types of automatic or permissible adjustments to the caps, and the application of the PAYGO requirement. Second, a joint budget resolution would require the Presidentâ€TMs signature, thereby formally and directly involving the President in congressional deliberations on the budget early in the process. Under the existing budget process, there is a concurrent resolution on the budget that represents an agreement between the House and Senate concerning overall budget policy. It is not presented to the President for his signature, and thus does not become law. Third, proposals for an emergency reserve fund are intended to change the way Congress and the President budget for emergencies and other unanticipated situations. Instead of appropriating funds for such situations as the need arises, emergency reserve fund proposals would require Congress and the President to set aside money for such purposes in the budget, with the appropriation of such funds tied to meeting specific criteria of what constitutes an emergency. Fourth, an automatic continuing resolution would provide an automatic source of funding for discretionary activities in the event one or more regular appropriations acts are not enacted by the start of a new fiscal year. This reform proposal is intended to prevent a shutdown of the federal government due to the expiration of funding. Finally, biennial budgeting proposals would change the budget cycle to 2 years from one year. This reform has been discussed as a way of promoting better management of both Congressâ€TMs and the administrationâ€TMs budgetary workload. Biennial budgeting proposals could involve multiyear authorizations, 2-year budget resolutions, 2-year appropriations, or some combination of the three. This report will be updated to reflect changes in congressional concerns or actions.
