Summary
Publisher's description: How are budget decisions made by the US government? Is it fair to blame skyrocketing deficits on an inability to curtail spending? How-and why-are taxing and spending decidedly separate political processes? Emphasizing budgetary politics rather than economic theories, Patrick Fisher offers a clear, thorough overview of how money flows through our government coffers. A welcome realism pervades Fisher's analysis of budget making, and numerous case studies of events in recent budget politics bring his arguments to life. The result is a balanced wealth of material for classroom discussion---About the book p.193.
