Congressional Budget Process Enacted to bring order to decision making Establishes timetable for orderly decision-making Establishes rules and procedures for fiscal legislation Intended to give Congress a level playing field with the Executive Branch

Budget Process Simplified President submits a budget (1 st Monday in February) Congress considers Budget Resolution Reconciliation instructions to Committees/Allocations of Funding Reconciliation enacted Appropriations enacted

Tools Of The Trade Congress adopts a “Budget Resolution” or a blueprint for spending and revenues for the year ahead. Allocates Budget Authority to the Appropriations Committee/Reconciliation Congress spends the rest of the year (and maybe more!) building the structure laid out.

Income Side Revenues (income taxes, payroll taxes, etc.) Receipts (fees, asset sales, etc.)

Spending Side Two principle ways of spending money: Discretionary appropriations (defense, domestic, international... Salaries, grants, contracts Entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Guaranteed Student Loans, CSRS/FERS)

Managing The Balance Deficit = Revenues – Spending!

Budget Terms The BUDGET RESOLUTION is the blueprint by which all congressional spending and revenue decisions are made. It is enforced through House and Senate rules and procedures. The BUDGET RESOLUTION is a concurrent resolution between the House and Senate and does not go to the President for his signature.

Budget Terms In simple terms, the BUDGET RESOLUTION allocates funds to the Appropriations Committees to appropriate at their discretion (discretionary appropriations) and directs Authorizing Committees (all committees other than Appropriations) to recommend change in laws to bring legislation into line with the plan through a RECONCILIATION procedure.
