21st Century Challenges: Performance Budgeting Could Help Promote Necessary Reexamination
Overview Performance budgeting holds promise as part of a process of reexamining the base of the federal government. It can help enhance the government's capacity to assess competing claims for federal dollars by arming decision makers with better information both on the results of individual programs as well as on entire portfolios of policies, programs, and other tools designed to address common goals. However, it is also important to remember that in a political process performance information is likely to be one, but not the only, factor in budgetary decision making. In other words, performance information can change the terms of debate but it will not necessarily determine the ultimate decision.
