Monies spent by the government go into our education, our security, our military, and our bridges and roads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, the size and composition of the federal budget is arguably the most important single issue of the 1990's, yet most debates and commentaries on the subject are largely uninformed. Virtually no one - whether government official, member of Congress, journalist, or taxpayer - seems to understand how the budget is put together and what it means. This is hardly surprising, since the budget has become extraordinarily complicated. The structure of the budget reform act of 1911 has been maintained, with the changes of additional reforms (1974, 1986, and 1990) piled on top of it, while virtually nothing has been discarded. Most people are distressed at the enormous size of the federal deficit and perplexed because highly touted plans and agreements to bring the deficit down result in an even higher deficit. Why does this happen? Why is there a growing deficit amid cries of underfunding? Why is there general agreement on a format that has proved so misleading? This book comprises a series of essays about the federal budget - how and why it has grown so large, why most "deficit-reduction" measures are either shams or predestined to fail, and why understanding budget issues is so difficult. The authors offer a new perspective, a microbudgeting approach, which requires examining in detail how the federal government makes its budget decisions. Macrobudgeting, which is concerned with totals rather than parts, has prevailed for more than a generation in both Democratic and Republican administrations; the deficit-reduction drives of the 1980's, for example, failed because the parts added up to more than the targeted totals. By contrast, microbudgeting breaks the budget down into its basic elements, carefully reviews the assumptions underlying each program or account, and critically examines the methods by which savings are computed. Using this approach, the authors demonstrate that it is possible to understand the budget process and to make informed decisions on issues of public policy. Individual essays focus on such topics as: the changing Congressional budget processes that have been critically important in contributing to the federal budget deficits that have persisted since World War II; the origins, uses, and abuses of budget baselines; and the myth of the budget reductions of the Reagan presidency.

Download or read book Entitlement Issues in the Domestic Budget written by John C. Weicher and published by A E I Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume analyze the entitlement programs responsible for more than two-thirds of all federal outlays, exclusive of interest on debt. Rather than dealing with the level of current outlays in the current budget as most other discussions do, the authors focus on fundamental inequities and problems likely to emerge over the long term. The papers in this volume address the following topics: Michael D. Levy discusses social security, stressing the problems created by the present federal income tax treatment of benefits. Jack Meyer examines Medicare and Medicaid, noting that they are expensive programs that yet fail to provide adequate coverage in important respects. Annelise Anderson reviews federal pay and civil service retirement, concluding that federal workers are both overpaid and underpaid and that the overpayment of many workers is combined with an extremely generous retirement system. Kenneth Clarkson describes low-income benefit programs, emphasizing the problem of multiple benefits for individual households. The volume also includes an edited discussion among the authors and other participants at the conference.
