The Risks of Executive Budget Overreach

This chapter examines the dangers of potential executive overreach in budget control, emphasizing the separation of powers as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. It discusses the implications of funding resolutions that could severely cut essential federal programs, including healthcare and disaster relief, while also critiquing the chaotic budget-writing process. The conversation raises concerns about the broader consequences of these cuts on societal functions, particularly in the context of increasing climate-related challenges.
