[.ca] Federal Budget, 3rd Edition, The (ISBN 0815777353)

Excellent overview - also get the poster!:
Dr. Schick's book is outstanding. If you use this book in the classroom or teach the congressional or federal budget process, you should also look at the Congressional Operations Poster. One side of the poster covers the federal budget process, with a flowchart that is very useful when teaching about the federal or congressional budget process. (But don't take my word that the poster is useful - I have seen it hanging in federal agency offices in Washington, DC.) The publisher, TheCapitol.Net, has more information about the poster, and many useful links, on their web site: congressposter.com Best bet is to buy Dr. Shick's book and the Congressional Operations Poster.
