Fixing the Federal Budget

In our last Capitol Hill Campus course, Dr. Jason Fichtner walked through the steps that go into making the federal budget. From its beginnings in the White House, through the many roles Congress takes to authorize and enforce the budget, he navigated the twisting, puzzling conglomeration of bureaucratic steps, political goals, and accounting rules that go into making our government function. And yet, deficits are mounting. America's debt is at an all-time high, and political posturing is clouding the fiscal issues confronting Congress. In this talk, Dr. Fichtner illustrates the structural and practical flaws that plague the budget process, and why government spending bears little, if any, relationship to federal revenues. Dr. Fichtner examines these systemic problems, as well as a variety of ideas to help Congress bring fiscal responsibility to Washington.
