Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed critical issues that Congress and the new administration must face if the government is to function well. GAO found that: (1) in 1988, the reported budget deficit of $155 billion consisted of a surplus of $97 billion in trust funds and a deficit in the general funds of $252 billion; and (2) unfunded costs included about $85 billion to solve the savings and loan crisis, between $100 billion and $150 billion to modernize and clean up the nuclear weapons production complex, modernization of several agencies' computer and telecommunications systems, and a military budget that doubled over 5 years. GAO believes that: (1) a broad restructuring and rebuilding of the government's overall financial management structure is essential and should be a top priority for the new administration and Congress; and (2) its transition reports include a variety of specific suggestions for governmentwide consideration on how to attract quality personnel for public service and improve the way the government manages its major computer and telecommunications systems, financial and budget affairs, and program evaluation information.

Download or read book The Administrative State written by Dwight Waldo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought.The objectives of The Administrative State are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments.This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history.

Download or read book Legislative Effectiveness in the United States Congress written by Craig Volden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores why some members of Congress are more effective than others at navigating the legislative process and what this means for how Congress is organized and what policies it produces. Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman develop a new metric of individual legislator effectiveness (the Legislative Effectiveness Score) that will be of interest to scholars, voters, and politicians alike. They use these scores to study party influence in Congress, the successes or failures of women and African Americans in Congress, policy gridlock, and the specific strategies that lawmakers employ to advance their agendas.
