Talk about government spending, taxation, debt, and fiscal policy debates in Congress.
What’s this category for?
This space is for discussion of how the federal government raises and allocates money, including tax policy and budget bills.
How is it different?
It focuses on national spending and revenue policy, not just specific programs or economic outcomes.
What should posts include?
Topics might include tax reform, the debt ceiling, annual budgets, federal deficits, and appropriations bills.
Why not merge?
The federal budget affects all areas of public policy and deserves its own category.
Engagement policy:
We welcome all viewpoints, as long as they are respectful. Keep the focus on policy and legislation, especially congressional action. Avoid partisan debates about the presidency.
