Why has the federal budget process been described as "fractured, contentious, and chaotic"?
The federal budget process has been described as "fractured, contentious, and chaotic" mainly because it forces the President and Congress to negotiate and agree on the problems that deserve top priority. There is a limited amount of money, yet so many valid and important causes that need federal financial support. The budget is initially prepared by the Office of Management and Budget, then revised by the president, then submitted to Congress, where the two houses must reconcile any modifications they make before passing budget resolutions.
