Abstract:
Most people have little understanding of the Federal appropriation process. Yet, it has an enormous impact on the cost estimating community. This briefing is a light-hearted romp through the process in an attempt to explain some of the relationships and terms used. It may also help explain why your children and grand children owe tens of thousands of dollars each to foreign creditors. It won’t explain why you think you pay too much in taxes. There will be no equations used in this presentation.
