Mending the Federal Budget

The US federal budgeting process is broken. In fact, it has been broken in various ways since the original passing of the Congressional Budget Act in 1974. As we approach 50 years of fiscal dysfunction, BP50 is here to provide a platform and aggregator for budget experts from all corners to share their ideas, proposals and analysis. The fiscal health of the United States is declining, and the first step in its convalescence is budgeting reform. That conversation lives here.
