The State of Nevada and Clark County appear to have a different manner of meeting budget deficiencies. The Office of Budget and Management has an amount of finances reserved for supplemental and emergency funding, at a total of $153.1 billion dollars. Neither Clark County nor the State of Nevada appears to have emergency or supplemental funding in their budgets.
State of Nevada
The budget for the State of Nevada is larger than Clark County. The total 2006 budget for the State of Nevada is reported to be $2,400 million dollars with a deficit of -2.3%. The state of Nevada's transportation budget for 2006 was $4.6 million dollars; agriculture $21.1 million; education $56.6 million; health and human services $69.2 million; and $21.0 million for justice programs. These amounts are considerably higher than Clark County in comparison. The State of Nevada's Department of Business and Industry recently released a new prevailing wage rate for public works projects for Nevada's 17 counties. The rate increase was based on survey responses submitted by contractors in Nevada's construction industry regarding wages paid on non-residential construction projects. These rates go into effect on October 1, 2006 and the State of Nevada plans to post these rates ahead of time to give people a chance to look at the need for any clerical or technical corrections before they go into effect. This differs from the smaller budget of Clark County, who appears to not have the means to conduct a survey such as this one to evaluate a wage increase. Clark County relies on its CIP program to look for ways to decrease budget spending, not increase wages.
The White House's Office of Budget and Management
The White House's Office of Budget and Management has the largest budget and revenue income of the three governmental branches examined. For 2006, the defense/military budget was $410.8 billion dollars; homeland security was $30.5 billion dollars; housing and urban development was $34.1 billion dollars; veterans affairs was $33.1 billion dollars; environmental protection agency was $7.6 billion dollars, and social security administration...
This differs from the budgets of Clark County and State of Nevada in that these budgets do not even include for programs such as these. Therefore, the budget of the Office of Budget and Management is automatically much larger because it includes government-funded federal programs that the local governments do not include. The total amount of discretionary spending for the Office of Budget and Management in 2006 was $843 billion dollars, up from the $644 billion spent in 2005. The Office notes that there is a small policy change to their budget spending as a result of additional funding for the Global War on Terror. Funding for the Global War on terror did not affect the budgets of either Clark County of the State of Nevada, at least not directly.
Additionally, the budget of the Office of Budget and Management appears to be much larger than the other two, for this office has a discretionary budget authority. For 2006, the discretionary budget for the Department of Defense was $140 billion; for Homeland Security, #32.1 billion; and $400 billion for "other operations of government." The most notable difference between the budgets of all three governmental branches was the fact that the Office of Budget and Management has supplemental funding and emergency funding in the amounts of $120 billion for the Global War on Terror; $24 billion for hurricane response; $6 billion for pandemic flu preparedness; and $2 billion for border security. The total amount for 2006 for supplemental and emergency funding was $153 billion. Finally, the budget of the Office of Budget and Management is no doubt the largest of the three budgets examined in this paper.

Republicans construed Obama as suggesting government bailouts for new industries, or at the slightest a more lively federal government function in generating or supporting jobs -- concepts abominations to a lot of conservatives. The Obama campaign countered the idea as political spin that does not replicate the president's feeling or meaning, pointing to full circumstances of the quotation as confirmation (Koch, 2011).

Budget plan is a quantitative expression of planned income and expenses for a given financial year. A budget contains an estimated projected expenses and revenue for a financial year.

Certain specialists in the field have agreed upon the two most important principles that the budget, whether it is a governmental or corporate one, should follow. One of the two principles consists in the fact that the budget should be designed as a tool for planning and monitoring (Andrews, 2007). Similarities between the Federal Budget and the Corporate One As mentioned above, the two types of budgets are very distinct in areas like the development process, budget
Operating expenses include selling and administrative expense. Ordinarily, a forecast or budget for selling expenses is prepared together with the sales budget or profit target because selling efforts such as promotions, commissions and salaries of the sales staff are directly related to sales. Selling expenses may either be variable or fixed. Administrative expenses include projected administrative costs for other than production or selling activities. These expenses are mostly composed of
