He defines basic financial vocabulary and outlines concepts by using clear charts and diagrams that both provide basis for discussion and illustrate key points. With this budget map in mind, the second part of the book lays out how the partisan divide in America helps explain the fiscal crisis. Hudson analyzes the debate on the extent of the fiscal crisis, the ways that political parties have tried to solve it, and the political events and institutions that have surrounded the crisis. This citizen's guide reveals how differing views of America inform the arguments over deficits and debt. By the time readers finish the book, they will understand that the conflict over deficits and debt is not simply about where to cut or add spending, but instead is a struggle over national priorities and visions for the future." -- Publisher's website. 500 $a New Book -- December -- 2014 650 0 $a Finance, Public $z United States. 650 0 $a Government spending policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Fiscal policy $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 2009- 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Finance, Public. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924477 650 7 $a Fiscal policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00925806 650 7 $a Government spending policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945615 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 2009 $2 fast 830 0 $a Citizen guides to politics and public affairs. 941 $a 3 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011458.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20220721010346.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27EC26F07ABA11E4B6DBA182DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
