Congressional Budgeting A Representational Perspective

In Congressional Budgeting, Patrick Fisher analyzes the problems inherent in the congressional budget process, and studies why congress makes the budgetary decisions that it does. Fisher argues that it is the representational nature of Congress that makes budgeting such a flawed process. Budgeting requires Congress to compromise parochial interests for the well being of the entire nation, focusing on macro-level budget decisions. It is the parochial nature of congressional budgeting that is key to understanding the predicament Congress confronts when budgeting.Fisher, Patrick J. is the author of 'Congressional Budgeting A Representational Perspective', published 2005 under ISBN 9780761829355 and ISBN 0761829350.
