Each February when the President releases his proposed Federal Budget for the following year, Treasury releases the General Explanations of the Administration's Revenue Proposals. Known as the “Green Book” (or Greenbook), the document provides a concise explanation of each of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2014 tax proposals for raising revenue for the Government. This annual document clearly recaps each proposed change, reviewing the provisions in the Current Law, outlining the Administration's Reasons for Change to the law, and explaining the Proposal for the new law. Ideal for anyone wanting a clear summary of the Administration's policies and proposed tax law changes. While many of the proposals included in the FY 2014 budget are either the same or modified versions of proposals included in the Administration’s FY 2013 budget, there are nearly 50 new revenue proposals in the 2014 budget, including closing loopholes and changing tax credits and incentives. Following are a few of the President's new revenue proposals that are explained in the Treasury FY2014 Green Book: Extending employment tax credits for hiring veterans; Requiring derivatives contracts to be marked to market and taxed as ordinary income on an annual basis; Repealing the domestic manufacturing deduction for oil and natural gas production; Establishing multiple incentives for investment in infrastructure, including “America Fast Forward” Bonds and increasing caps on other bonds; Taxing carried interest as ordinary income; Returning the estate tax to 2009 levels, modifying the recent estate tax exclusions and rates signed into law earlier this year under the American Taxpayer Relief Act; Prohibiting individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in tax-preferred retirement accounts; and Capping the benefit of certain deductions (such as a charitable contribution deduction) to 28 percent for taxpayers at or above the 33% marginal tax rate.

The federal budget impacts American policies both at home and abroad, and recent concern over the exploding budgetary deficit has experts calling our nation's policies "unsustainable" and "system-dooming." As the deficit continues to grow, will America be fully able to fund its priorities, such as an effective military and looking after its aging population? In this third edition of his classic book The Federal Budget, Allen Schick examines how surpluses projected during the final years of the Clinton presidency turned into oversized deficits under George W. Bush. In his detailed analysis of the politics and practices surrounding the federal budget, Schick addresses issues such as the collapse of the congressional budgetary process and the threat posed by the termination of discretionary spending caps. This edition updates and expands his assessment of the long-term budgetary outlook, and it concludes with a look at how the nation's deficit will affect America now and in the future. "A clear explanation of the federal budget... [Allen Schick] has captured the politics of federal budgeting from the original lofty goals to the stark realities of today."—Pete V. Domenici, U.S. Senate

Liberals take great pride in their supposed open-mindedness. Yet when it comes to hot-button issues like radical Islam, global warming, and abortion, “open-minded” liberals go to great lengths to discredit and suppress the ideas of their opponents. Breitbart senior editor Joel Pollak exposes the nineteen key ideas that today’s liberals are desperate to suppress, revealing the blatant hypocrisy of left-wing leaders and pundits who preach tolerance but practice intolerance.
