The Executive Budget in the Federal Government : The First Century and Beyond
This article reviews the history of executive budgeting in the United States a century after President William Howard Taft's Economy and Efficiency Commission proposed an executive budget. This history, the authors argue, does not suggest that giving more budget power to the president will improve budget outcomes. Instead, what is needed is more cooperation between the branches of government and a better-educated public—goals that were shared by budget reformers when the Taft report was published.
