Fisher argues that it is the representational nature of Congress that makes budgeting such a flawed process. Budgeting requires Congress to compromise parochial interests for the well being of the entire nation, focusing on macro-level budget decisions. It is the parochial nature of congressional budgeting that is key to understanding the predicament Congress confronts when budgeting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47587630121111,"sku":"9780761829355","price":6344.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780761829355.webp?v=1774966894","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/congressional-budgeting-a-representational-perspective-9780761829355","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
