What is the value of a balanced budget?
A balanced budget matches expenses with revenues. If your budget is not balanced you are either spending more than you take in and you have to borrow the difference or you are taking in more revenue than you can spend and that warehouses money. Budgeted reserves, a hard thing to manage, are part of the budget and should be adopted as plain policy. In that case you are setting aside revenue over expenses for a specific purpose (such as a rainy-day fund or a disaster fund.) Debt, or borrowing, can be part of a budget as well, usually showing debt payments and reserves in a sinking fund. If you maintain a sinking fund in your budget you still have a balanced budget. Typically debt is for some specific purpose, such as a new road or a bridge. In the Federal Budget there are no debts for bridges, roads, battleships or whatever they are all paid for in cash. So it could be said that some portion of the Federal budget should be shown as a debt owed for capital projects. But it is not accounted for in that fashion today. A balanced budget has value because you avoid debt to support spending and you avoid warehousing money that taxpayers might be able to spend themselves.
What in the federal budget system is the phase where you submit a balanced president's budget?
The phase in the federal budget system where a balanced president's budget is submitted is known as the "budget proposal" or "budget submission" phase. During this phase, the President presents a comprehensive budget plan to Congress, detailing recommended spending and revenue levels for the upcoming fiscal year. This proposal aims to reflect the administration's priorities and fiscal goals while adhering to budgetary constraints. Following submission, Congress reviews, amends, and ultimately approves the budget before it is enacted.
