This is surprising since many proponents highlight its potential for changing traditional, government-centric approaches to delivering public services. This article shows that digital communities form an imp...

摘要：William Howard Taft and Frederick A. Cleveland's vision of executive budgeting clashes with the unique status of the U.S. Congress among the world's legislatures, and its proponents may exaggerate the potential for presidents to act as fiscal guardians.

These mechanisms would enhance fiscal discipline and aid consolidation.
