Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–August 16, 2012. Today the Center for American Progress released a new report finding that federal budget professionals do not have the information they need to make reliable, rational decisions about federal resource allocation. The analysis, based on interviews with a group of experts that altogether had more than 600 years of government service in the field of budgeting, revealed that the nation’s budget system has seriously deteriorated over the past decade. Further, the report found no evidence that the very critical views of those interviewed had been considered in any past budgetary reform efforts.
