Congressional Budgeting for the Terrified: Come Up to Speed on the Congressional Budget Process--Understand Surpluses, Deficits, Appropriations, and Authorizations Once and For All
Why is the federal budget process so convoluted? How come it's so hard to get an appropriation through Congress? What's the difference between authorizations and appropriations? How can I track my organization’s appropriation?
If you've ever asked any of these questions, this course from TheCapitol.Net is a must: Understanding Congressional Budgeting and Appropriations at the Goethe-Institut, downtown Washington, DC, Wednesday, May 13, 2009 from 8:30 am to 4:10 pm.
Congressional budget experts will explain basic concepts of the congressional budget process: surpluses and deficits, authorizations, appropriations, Internet resources--and perhaps most critical, the individuals involved in the budget process, their roles and relationships. Attendees will gain knowledge about the dynamics of the federal deficit, discretionary and mandatory spending, how Congress handles the President’s budget, and budget resolution and reconciliation. Expert faculty will discuss the different types of authorization bills, the relationship between appropriations and the budget resolution, and other topics.
The last segment offers hands-on Internet training on how to find budget web sites and track appropriations.
