About this title

Review:

"Miller's work is well written and organized and is a pleasure to read. He has been markedly successful in producing a volume that renders to the student and lay audience alike an understanding of the politics of the federal budget process. In sum, it should be considered high-priority reading for all."

"[Jim Miller] knows the nuances of, as well as the large questions about, the federal government. Parsimonious, and skeptical about most federal undertakings, he is the closest thing to a Jeffersonian that the modern age can produce."
George Will, syndicated columnist and television commentator"

"Probably the toughest job in Washington is Director of the Office of Management and Budget; it seems to break most of its occupants, turning them into apologists for growing government. Jim Miller lived to tell the tale, one that should be read by anyone who feels government is out of control and wonders why."
Robert L. Bartley, Editor, "Wall Street Journal""

"Jim Miller (as head of OMB) did reduce the size of the deficit, without tax increases, during the last three Reagan years. He tells how in this book."
James M. Buchanan, Nobel laureate in economics, 1986"

"Jim Miller brings to lively light the budget and the process of putting it together. He is informative, analytical, and interesting. A 'must read.'"
George P. Shultz, former secretary of state"
