It is also the practice of basing budgets on expected revenue. I realize the federal government can't be run on an entirely pay as you go policy but it should be considered for parts of the budget. Say, the part about Congress' salary and benefits package. Maybe cash payments for welfare should be cut back with cutbacks being made up for with bags of beans, rice and blocks of Department of Agriculture cheese. I don't remember hearing of anyone paying for a cruise with a sack of pinto beans.....
