Profiling Public Expenditures
This research brief describes work documented in Public Expenditures in the United States: 1952-1993 (MR-555-RC).
Excerpt: Classifications of public expenditures help shape the debate about the role of government in the economy. However, current classification schemes featured in the federal budget do not present a national budget in the context of the national economy. As a consequence, they provide a distorted picture of expenditure trends.
