Understanding the Budget of the United States

According to the federal law, the President must submit he Budget of the United States to Congress by the first Monday in February. This tradition has been in place for more than eighty years. According to that same federal law, the budget must contain certain information or it is considered incomplete. One of the main purposes of the budget proposal is to predict economic shifts over time, and to present ways in which the president plans on carrying out the proposed financial agenda for the country.
