Every year, the Bush administration's annual budget volume includes a section entitled Budget Process Reforms -- which sets out a series of initiatives similar one year to the next, generally self-serving to the executive branch, and not seriously pursued with the legislative branch (see, e.g., Budget Reform Proposals-in-Wonderland"). Proposed perennially and rarely taken (up) seriously in Congress, it is not often that debate is joined on these reform ideas, some of them familiar non-starters such as the line-item veto, some obscure and not objectionable at first blush, such as biennial budgeting. Hats off, then, to Roll Call's Stan Collender, whose current column in Fiscal Fitness engages these ideas in good faith and on the merits, since they "supposedly would fix the budget problem," but is also appropriately dismissive, since "none of these proposed changes have any chance of being adopted this year."
