“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the
result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy--to be followed by a dictatorship.”
― Alexander Fraser Tytler

Creating the Federal BudgetThe PRESIDENT proposes a budget outlining the administration’s policy priorities. The president’s proposal is submitted to Congress.
The House and Senate work individually (Budget Committee hearings/votes followed by a floor vote in each house), then together (in a conference committee), to pass a Budget Resolution.
The House and Senate work individually (Appropriations Committee hearings/votes followed by a floor vote in each house), then together (in a conference committee), to pass each appropriations bill.
As CONGRESS passes appropriations bills, they are presented to the PRESIDENT for his signature/veto.
• Congress must pass a Continuing Resolution to fund the government if appropriations bills are not passed on time
