I’d like to start budgeting from a zero baseline. I’d settle for starting from $1.835T in the last Clinton budget (2001) plus inflation for $2.332T in federal spending next year, which almost exactly matches expected federal revenue. To start from a budget with a deficit over $1T and add to that? No way. That massively wasteful spending is the problem, not the solution.

Incremental budgeting needs to go because it discourages innovation and encourages every penny is spent to more will be added in the coming year.

Zero-based budgeting would help restore sanity.
