Assignment
The public budget evolved over time. The Federal Budget, and how it gets made, is a complex, lengthy process that has important implications for Federal, State, and Local agencies. Obviously, funding for each agency is going to affect that agency’s budget. Likewise, federal funding for social programs, education, and other programs, such as disaster relief, affects how state and local agencies fund those programs within their own budgets. Choose one federal agency or department from the A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies. Links to an external site.
Compare the federal budget with the budget of your selected department and note how they are interconnected.In a 3–4 page paper (not including the cover and reference page), address the following:
Prepare a concise history of the public budget. Title this section Public Budget. (Note: This section should not include your selected federal agency or department.)
Examine the federal budget submission process. Title this section Submission Process.
Determine if the budget of your selected department or agency supports the mission of the agency or department. Title this section Mission.
Determine how the budget has affected the policy of the department or agency. Title this section Policy.
Evaluate how the budget of the agency or department has changed over the last five to ten years. Title this section Budget Changes.
