Budget The President submits a budget to Congress by the first Monday in February every year. The budget contains estimates of federal government income and spending for the upcoming fiscal year and also recommends funding levels for the federal government. Congress then must pass appropriations bills based on the President's recommendations and Congressional priorities. If Congress does not pass all appropriations measures by the start of the fiscal year (October 1), it has to enact a continuing resolution to keep the government running.

Chairman Gregg Honors Cheri Reidy
for 20 Years of Service to the Senate Budget Committee Senator Gregg and the Budget Committee recently honored Cheri Reidy, Director for Revenues and Budget Review, for 20 years of service to the committee. Chairman Gregg said on the Senate floor, "Cheri Reidy joined the Budget Committee in 1982. She holds a Master of Public Policy Analysis from the University of Rochester with an emphasis in statistical and economic analysis and program evaluation. Her undergraduate degree is in Psychology which, no doubt, serves her well in understanding the budget process."
Long-term Challenges:

" Federal entitlement programs are on the verge of being overwhelmed by the Baby Boom Generation, which begins retiring in 2008. These programs – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - represented just over half of all federal spending last year. But in just 10 years they will balloon to two-thirds of the entire budget

Go Read More Posts On FuturePundit February 07, 2005 US Federal Medical Research Budget To Lag Behind Inflation The Bush Administration proposes to not allow biomedical research funding to keep up with inflation and therefore is effectively proposing cuts in biomedical research funding. Under the president's request, the budget of the National Institutes of Health, which doubled from 1998 to 2003, would rise by 0.7 percent, to $28.7 billion next year. That is much less than what would be needed to keep pace with the costs of biomedical research, which are rising more than 3.5 percent a year. For the National Science Foundation, Mr. Bush will request $5.6 billion in 2006, an increase of 2.4 percent, budget documents show. Mr. Bush requested an increase last year as well, but Congress ended up making a small cut in the agency's budget for this year. At the Food and Drug Administration, buffeted in recent months by concerns about drug safety, the budget would increase by 4.5 percent, to $1.9 billion. Aside on the FDA budget increase: What we need are more drugs in the drug pipeline, not more regulation of the drug development process.

Testimony of Chairman Alan Greenspan
Budget process reforms
Before the Budget Committee, U.S. Senate
April 21, 2005
Mr. Chairman, Senator Conrad, and members of the Committee, I am pleased to be here today to offer my views on the federal budget and related issues. I want to emphasize that I speak for myself and not necessarily for the Federal Reserve. In my judgment, the necessary choices will be especially difficult to implement without the restoration of a set of procedural restraints on the budget-making process. For about a decade, the rules laid out in the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 and in the later modifications and extensions of the act provided a framework that helped the Congress establish a better fiscal balance. However, the brief emergence of surpluses in the late 1990s eroded the will to adhere to these rules, which were aimed specifically at promoting deficit reduction rather than at the broader goal of setting out a commonly agreed-upon standard for determining whether the nation was living within its fiscal means. Many of the provisions that helped restrain budgetary decisionmaking in the 1990sin particular, the limits on discretionary spending and the PAYGO requirementswere violated ever more frequently; finally, in 2002, they were allowed to expire. I do not mean to suggest that the nation's budget problems will be solved simply by adopting a new set of rules. The fundamental fiscal issue is the need to make difficult choices among budget priorities, and this need is becoming ever more pressing in light of the unprecedented number of individuals approaching retirement age. For example, future Congresses and Presidents will, over time, have to weigh the benefits of continued access, on current terms, to advances in medical technology against other spending priorities as well as against tax initiatives that foster increases in economic growth and the revenue base.

This paper provides new evidence on the determinants of the allocation of the US federal budget to the states. We find that the president has a strong influence on the budget allocation, while support for theories that give prominence to the Congress is rather weak. Membership of prestige committees is not used to divert federal spending nor does membership of the Armed Services committee affects defense spending. The presidential race matters. States that are historically volatile or extremely safe in presidential elections tend to receive more funds, while marginal states are not rewarded. Finally, we find good evidence in support of partisan theories. states whose governor has the same political affiliation of the president receive more federal funds, while states opposing the president’s party in Congressional elections are penalized.

Annex 5
Canada's Financial Performance in an International Context
Introduction and Overview
  • This annex compares Canada’s financial position with that of the other Group of Seven (G-7) countries (United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and Italy). Two factors tend to complicate international comparisons: differences in accounting methods among countries, which affect the comparability of data, and differences in financial responsibilities among levels of government within countries. For this reason, the standardized System of National Accounts definitions and data, which are fairly uniform among countries, are used for international comparisons. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) produces a complete series of estimates based on this system. The data presented in this annex are based on the OECD’s June and November 2001 Economic Outlook publications and, as such, do not include any data revisions since then. Between 1992 and 2000 Canada made the most dramatic improvement in its financial situation among the G-7 countries. Over this period Canada recorded a turnaround of more than 12 percentage points in its financial balance as a share of

Annex 4
Canada’s Financial Performance in an International Context
Introduction
  • This annex compares Canada’s financial position with that of the other Group of Seven (G7) countries (United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and Italy). Two important factors need to be taken into account in making international comparisons: differences in accounting methods among countries, which affect the comparability of data, and differences in financial responsibilities among levels of government within countries. For these reasons, the standardized System of National Accounts definitions and data are used, and the focus is the total government sector rather than distinguishing between the national and subnational level. These data are fairly uniform among countries, and hence are used for international comparisons. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) produces a complete series of estimates based on this system. The data presented in this annex are based on the December 2002 OECD Economic Outlook and, as such, do not include any data revisions since then. On this basis:

U.S. Federal Budget Update
On February 3, with the FY 2003 budgets for the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and other agencies yet to be finalized, the administration released its FY 2004 budget request. In FY 2004 (the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2003), the federal research portfolio overall would gain 7% under the administration's request. Basic research would grow by 5%, and applied research by 2%, compared with last year's request. (The president's FY 2003 proposal was used as the baseline for comparisons with the FY 2004 request because of the incompleteness of the FY 2003 appropriation process. As a consequence, all the percentage increases specified here are subject to change.) For FY 2004, the administration has requested a total budget of $5.481 billion for the National Science Foundation, a 9% increase over the FY 2003 request. The Department of Energy's Office of Science would receive a total of $3.3 billion, an increase of $47 million, or 1.4%. Research programs at the Department of Defense would decrease, by 7.7% (basic research) and 14.4% (applied). The National Institutes of Health would receive an increase of only 2%, with most of the increase to be directed to biodefense. Within NSF, the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Directorate would receive $1.061 billion, an increase of $120 million, or 12.7%. Drilling down further within the MPS allocation, the budget of the Division of Mathematical Sciences would increase by $20 million (11.0%) over the FY 2003 request, to a total of $202 million.

Peter R. Orszag Introduction The U.S. federal budget is on an unsustainable path. In the absence of significant policy changes, federal government deficits are expected to total around $5 trillion over the next decade. Such deficits will cause U.S. government debt, relative to GDP, to rise significantly. Thereafter, as the baby boomers increasingly reach retirement age and claim Social Security and Medicare benefits, government deficits and debt are likely to grow even more sharply. The scale of the nation's projected budgetary imbalances is now so large that the risk of severe adverse consequences must be taken very seriously, although it is impossible to predict when such consequences may occur. Conventional analyses of sustained budget deficits demonstrate the negative effects of deficits on long-term economic growth. Under the conventional view, ongoing budget deficits decrease national saving, which reduces domestic investment and increases borrowing from abroad.

William G. Gale Chairman Nussle, Ranking Member Spratt, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for inviting me to testify today. It is always an honor to appear before this committee. I applaud the Committee's efforts to focus on the important role of uncertainty in shaping budget outcomes and policies. I'd like to address four questions. The first question is how good are the growth assumptions and baseline projections made by the Congressional Budget Office? I think it is fair to say that the CBO does a very good job of forecasting future economic activity and its relation to revenues and spending. The CBO's projections are often wrong, sometimes by sizable amounts. It is particularly difficult to predict and understand turning points. But my impression is that CBO does as well as, or better than, anyone else who tries to divine the economic future. The second question is what causes the baseline projections to be so uncertain? The primary source of uncertainty in the baseline projection is uncertainty regarding the overall size of the economy in the future. Not only is future GDP difficult to predict precisely, but small differences in assumed growth rates can generate large changes in budget outcomes.
