The problems are both substantive and procedural. Barring some unforeseen and unprecedented event, fiscal year 2012, which will end on September 30th of this year, will represent the fourth consecutive year of deficits in excess of $1 trillion. Over this four-year period, more than $5 trillion has been added to the national debt, which will stand at more than $11 trillion (more than 70 percent of GDP) by the end of 2012. While much of this growth in debt can be traced to the most recent recession and attempts to address it, something will have to be done to address the chronic imbalance between taxes and spending. The procedural story is not much better. In fact, the procedural challenges facing the budget predate the recent increase in the deficit. There are three main problems with the federal budget process as of 2012. First, appropriations legislation, necessary to fund 40 percent of the government on an annual basis, is chronically late. Second, and related, the budget resolution, designed to promote the setting of overall fiscal policy, has become an “optional” device, seemingly only enacted when broad consensus already exists on a path for the budget; there has been no budget resolution in 7 of the past 15 years. Third, the budget process, far from encouraging fiscal discipline, detracts from a responsible approach to budgeting, in part because of the dysfunction of the political system and partly because the appropriations process tends to focus on the provision of specific benefits to particular constituencies. Both the magnitude of the problems, and past history, would indicate that these difficulties are not likely to disappear between now and the 2012 election. In fact, the campaign itself is unlikely to feature an illuminating debate concerning the future fiscal path that","PeriodicalId":46065,"journal":{"name":"Public Budgeting and Finance","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/J.1540-5850.2012.01019.X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63319590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Congress has not even tried to agree on a Budget Resolution—the normal first step in the annual budget process–for several years. Instead, hopes of a major agreement designed to stabilize the rising debt have rested on the creation of special mechanisms outside the regular budget process. First there was the President’s Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (the Simpson Bowles Commission) in 2010. When no legislative action followed that report, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden tried to hammer out a deal withHouse and senate leadership. ThenU.S. President Barack H. Obama and U.S. Speaker John Boehner worked together on a “grand bargain” both political parties could accept. After these efforts failed—and the debt ceiling debacle in the fall summer of 2011 showed how deeply broken regular congressional processes had become—hopes were pinned on yet another special committee. Legislation created the Joint Select Committee (JSC), dubbed the “Super Committee,” and gave it a tight deadline and truly extraordinary powers. Optimists thought that the JSC might succeed. If it had had strong from the president and the leadership in both houses, it might indeed have been able to agree on actions to stabilize the rising debt and use its powers to set the federal budget on a sustainable path. But that support did not materialize, gridlock prevailed, and the JSC became one more entry on a list of failures. Gridlock is likely to last at least through the 2012 presidential election, perhaps longer. But even if one of these extraordinary mechanisms had succeeded in reaching a “grand bargain,” this dismal history simply illustrates how completely the normal budget process has failed. Our much-vaunted democracy should not have to abandon its normal decision processes and concentrate power in the hands of an ad hoc group to solve a budget problem.","PeriodicalId":46065,"journal":{"name":"Public Budgeting and Finance","volume":"32 1","pages":"53-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/J.1540-5850.2012.01017.X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63319729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
