Budget of the United States, Fiscal Year 2005, Analytical Perspectives

摘要

The Analytical Perspectives volume presents analyses that highlight specific subject areas or provide other significant budget data that place the budget in context. The volume presents crosscutting analyses of Government programs and activities from various perspectives. Presidential budgets have included separate analytical presentations of this kind for many years. The 1947 Budget and subsequent budgets included a separate section entitled 'Special Analyses and Tables' that covered four or more topics. For the 1952 Budget, this section was expanded to have ten analyses, including many subjects that are still covered today, such as receipts, investment, credit programs, and aid to State and local governments. With the 1967 Budget this material became a separate volume entitled 'Special Analyses,' and included 13 chapters. The material has generally remained a separate volume since then, with the exception of the budgets for 1991-1994, when the material was included in one large volume with other budget material. Beginning with the 1995 Budget, the volume has been named Analytical Perspectives.
