Weblog Entry - 08/26/2002: "BASIC BUDGET LINKS"

Learn your acronyms, intimidate your debating adversaries. Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OMB Mid-Session Review (released today), OMB Director Mitch Daniels testimony (1.6 trillion laughs), Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), CEA publications, basic Federal budget documents (can be downloaded free of charge), the Brookings Institution (Peter Orszag, Gene Sperling, Isabel Sawhill, Allan Schick), the Urban Institute (all budget publications, Eugene Steuerle, Rudolph Penner), the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Senate Budget Bulletin (Republican staff; high-level bullshit), Senate Budget Committee (Democrats; the deficit's gonna get yo Mama!), House Budget Committee (Democrats), House Budget Committee (Republican staff; low-level bullshit), Joint Economic Committee (Democrats; good stuff on tax policy, economic stimulus, etc.), Concord Coalition (the sky has been falling for years).
