Biennial Budgeting for the Federal Government: Lessons from the States

Author

  • Charles J. Whalen

Abstract

In recent years, Democrats and Republicans have proposed establishing a two‐year budget and appropriations cycle for the United States government. This article analyzes the potential impact of such budgeting. It examines the budget period in theory and practice; introduces federal biennial‐budgeting proposals and core arguments offered in support of this reform; and presents studies of state budgeting, including a biennial‐budgeting survey released by New Jersey in 1995, to evaluate these arguments. The article concludes that the federal budget process can be restructured to maximize the advantages of biennial budgeting in ways that outweigh its disadvantages.
