Major Savings and Reforms in the President's 2009 Budget

摘要

This volume describes and provides funding levels for major discretionary and mandatory savings and reform proposals in the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget. These proposals will result in savings to taxpayers and improved Government services by eliminating or restructuring low-priority programs and programs that are not producing results. The proposals were guided by criteria that considered whether the programs met the Nation's priorities, constituted an appropriate and effective use of taxpayer resources by the Federal Government, and produced the intended results.
