		The budget of a country is a summary or plan of the intended expenditures of that country.
		As an adjective, budget means that something is low-priced so that people who are spending their money carefully, being on a tight budget, can buy the item instead of a more expensive form of the item.
		Budget items, aside from being of less luxurious quality, are often reduced in packaging (or in design features that display social prestige rather than utilitarian function) in order to cut costs.

	Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management--Section 4--Budget Execution
		Good budget systems maintain data on commitments that can be monitored, because these will (for the most part) ultimately be reflected in actual expenditure and because their profile, in terms of cash payments to be made, may have important financial programming implications.
		Budget implementation, in the sense of delivering services by undertaking expenditures, is the responsibility of the line ministries and spending agencies, within regulatory controls set by the ministry of finance.
		Once budget appropriations are set in the budget on a line-item basis, there is often a need to shift budgetary provision from one line item to another; an example might be the delay in one capital project because of bad weather, and the need or opportunity to accelerate work on another such project elsewhere.

	GAO-04-841R, FAA Budget Policies and Practices
		To compare FAA's policies for categorizing budget line items with those of NASA and DOD, we obtained comparable policy documents from NASA and DOD and met with officials of both agencies responsible for preparing budget submissions to clarify their agencies' policies and obtain the information needed to draw accurate comparisons.
		For four of the five budget line items that FAA concurred with appropriators should have been categorized as Operations expenses and would be restructured in its next budget submission, we found that their placement in the F&E account in the 2004 budget submission was generally consistent with the budget policies set forth in Order 2500.8A.
		Budgeting for NASA programs through separate capital and operating accounts would not be compatible with the conduct of NASA's type of program activities and could lead to possible disconnects and/or suboptimized planning for a program when its funds are separated across two appropriation accounts that are treated almost as two distinct entities.

		The first part of any deal, Clinton's budget aides told congressional Democrats earlier this week, probably lies in the one concession Republicans say they want most in life: a cut in capital gains taxes, presumably one that could benefit the millions who have reaped big paper profits in the stock market.
		Consider this: the budget the Democrats say would be balanced in 2002 is the same budget that the Republicans, using different economic assumptions, say would run a $60 billion deficit.
		But it is also roughly 3 percent of the federal budget that year, and one half of 1 percent of the overall economy.

		Henning stressed internal budget documents and preliminary budgets are not public information since they are considered pre-decisional, but a final budget in which the school board is intending to vote on defines what is public information according to Pennsylvania school code.

	Holding the bottom line - balanced budget National Review - Find Articles
		The constraint of a balanced budget would force them to choose among spending priorities, and between raising spending and keeping tax burdens down.
		If a year from now most Americans are enjoying their (meager, to be sure) tax cut and seeing that spending can be cut without social calamity, they will be willing to vote for more.
		For that reason, the proposal that both parties agree to fund the government through a year-long continuing resolution rather than a budget, and to make next year's elections a referendum on the budget -- an idea first bruited by James Carville but appealing to some conservatives -- is fraught with risk.

		A budget is the culmination of a fairly involved process; not difficult, but it involves gathering a lot of data.
