View of the Week: On the US Federal Budget (A Retrospective Courtesy of the National Priorities Project)

Webinar: Understanding President Obama's 2016 Budget If you missed our webinar explaining the president's budget proposal, it's not too late! You can still listen to the webinar and download the slides at your convenience. We'll be offering more webinars this spring, so stay tuned.
