Aiming to present a neutral approach to the US federal budget, this text provides a detailed explanation of the intricacies of the budget, its history, and the institutional details that create it. It includes discussions of taxes, entitlements, welfare, social security, Medicare, agricultural subsidies, trust funds, budget enforcement, and the politics of the deficit and deficit-reduction. The text traces how spending and tax bills originate and follows them as they make their way through a maze of congressional procedures, regulations, and protocols.
