The vision of democracy is that the federal budget—and all activities of the federal government—reflects the values of a majority of Americans. Yet most people feel that the federal budget does not currently reflect their values and that the budgeting process is too complex to understand.

It is indeed a complicated process. Many forces shape the federal budget, some of them are forces written into law—like the president’s role in drafting the budget—while other forces stem from the realities of our political system.

This is great information which spells out the "How to" of the process. Worth the read to be able to inform the uninformed that we are on the right track! *See under the chart info about Continuing Resolutions
