mgt488 - In this essay I will address the following questions and provide references from the background readings to substantiate my findings. First, I will discuss and summarize the Federal Budget and touch on its largest source and its largest expenditure. Secondly, I will discuss GDP and the share government spending is allocated from it by doing a comparison of a few industrialized nations. I will also discuss the definition of a recession, what the U.S. is doing in terms of the recession and what tools are useful to stimulate growth in the economy. Lastly, I will address the major debate between Keynesian economists as to whether there is a need for government involvement to restore the economy and which economic crises may require government intervention.
mgt 488 - UNITED STATES BUDGET
The United States Budgets is basically the yearly plan as to how the United States Government spends its money.
bus230 - This money is accumulated mostly by gathering different types of tax revenues. The President of the United States submits his budget plan to congress every year, typically by the first Monday of February. If the government spends more money than it collects, this results in a deficit. If it spends less than it collects, this then results in a surplus which reduces the National Debt. President Clinton was successful in the latter years of his administration in proving a budget surplus, which reduced the national debt by several billion dollars. In 2000, Clinton announced a record surplus of $230 billion dollars.
bus 230 - However, the deficit returned under President George W. Bush, who announced in 2003, a deficit of $304 billion dollars. Why the difference between the two? Under President Clinton, taxes increased while President Bush created tax cuts. This makes perfect sense, as the largest source of revenue for the United States Government is individual income taxes.
