Common Budget

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or budget:

“The hourly kindness, the day’s common speech,
The habitual content of each with each
When neither soul nor body has been crossed.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
