Elections and
the
Budget
Congress returns to DC to address
capital creation for struggling small businesses and decide
whether to extend the Bush tax cuts that are due to expire
this year, but don't expect much progress on the budget. After
being introduced with much fanfare in February, funds for
Obama's budget and all the innovative grants and contracts
promised within it have never been allocated. To do this, both
houses of Congress need to pass appropriations bills that are
still foundering in committee. To keep the Government afloat
as Fiscal Year 2011 clocks in on October 1, Congress is
expected to pass a Continuing Resolution to fund agencies at
current levels.
No
meaningful action will be taken on the budget until after the
November elections - and the outcome of those elections may
determine the amount and type of spending that Washington
doles out. Polls indicate a strong anti-spending
sentiment among voters nationwide that is expected to cost the
Democrats several seats in Congress. That message may curtail
spending, or may inspire even greater spending by the
President, who begins campaigning for his own re-election as
soon as the votes are cast in November. Our bet is that we'll
see more grant spending for education and human services, but
less money for business contracts in the coming year. We'll
keep a watchful eye and report back in our December
newsletter. |
