Budget Hawks Question Doomsday Scenarios - Byron York - Page 1
This article strikes a nerve with me. A local talk show host does as well, the same nerve.
Everyone will talk generally about budget cuts and how they are needed ,but when you get down to it no one is willing to loose any budget from themselves. Instead of identifying an efficiency list and cutting the extra stuff that is not needed out they say they will have to cut the unimaginable thing in order to maintain all there budget.
The government needs to move to zero budgets, that is at the start of the year in planning all departments have zero for there budget and have to plan and show what they plan to do with every dollar they get eery year, no carry over....
I have worked for one company that did this and it was the best budgeting process I have ever seen. It was a lot of work to get through your budget each year, but boy did it do a good job to keep us tight and only spending money on the things that were important this year.
