Whether you subscribe to the Dave Ramsey school of thought or the Suze Orman mindset (or any other financial guru you like), there is one common lesson to be learned: you must create and stick to a budget. In fact, you’ve probably been told about the importance of budgeting more times than you can count. Hearing about the importance of budgeting, though, is a lot different than understanding why budgeting is important…

UK reveals 'tough but fair' budget...Britain's new coalition government has announced the country's toughest cuts to public spending in a generation in a bid to reign in record debts of $230bn. George Osborne, the UK finance minister, said the emergency budget aimed to "balance the books" within five years. Public sector pay for those earning over $31000 will be frozen for two years while a number of welfare benefits will be reduced. Consumers were hit with a rise in VAT, the country's broad-based tax on sales and services, from 17.5 per cent to 20 per cent from next year. Osborne described the budget as "progressive" and "tough but fair". Hamish Macdonald reports from London. [June 22, 2010]

No Budget. No Priorities. No Restra...We're deeming -- so we can start spending. Not budgeting, spending. No restraints, no priorities -- just spending. www.house.gov - Mr. Speaker, what we have here is a rule -- not a budget -- that will "deem" to the Appropriations Committee $1.1 trillion to spend on discretionary spending. This really is an unprecedented occurrence here on the House floor because what is happening is we are marking a moment that for the first time since the 1974 Budget Act -- the modern budgeting process in Congress -- the House is not going to do a budget. The House is not going to do a budget. They will call this rule "budget enforcement," but all it really is is giving a trillion dollars to the Appropriations Committee to spend. No budget, no priorities, no restraints -- just turn the spending spigot on. Now, the Majority talks about pay-go as their budget enforcement. With all due respect, I think pay-go is a sham. Whenever it's not circumvented, whenever it's actually applied, it's usually used to raise taxes on the American people. Another problem, Mr. Speaker, is what they are talking about in this rule is the President's Fiscal Commission will assemble and bring a recommendation in December and that will serve as our budget this year or something to that effect. I'm a member of the Fiscal Commission. I hope that we actually do come up with some concrete answers and some fiscal steps in the right direction. But what is the Fiscal Commission? It's a commission appointed by an <b>...</b>

To quote the words of the House Majority Leader, "The most basic responsibility of governing -- enacting a budget."
