Abstract

The budget process is government's mechanism for proposing, debating, determining, and communicating public expenditure priorities. The proposed new system aims to strengthen each of these functions. Basically, the new procedures would help to clarify and analyze the policy implications of alternative budget decisions. This requires clear communication, an awareness of how a program in one institution affects programs of others, information on all revenues and expenditures, explicit consideration of long-range plans, and an orientation toward maximizing results per dollar.
