PAD 505 ASSIGNMENT 1
\nAssignment 1: Policy Brief\u00a0
\nThe Federal Budget and how it gets made is a complex and lengthy process that has important implications for Federal and State agencies. Obviously, funding for each agency is going to affect that agency\u2019s budget. Likewise, federal funding for social programs, education, and other programs such as disaster relief affects how states fund those programs in their own budgets. Using the e-Activity from Week 1, \u201c2017 America First \u2013 A Blueprint to Make America Great Again\u201d, compare the federal budget with the budget of one of the departments listed below and note how they are interconnected.\u00a0
\n\u2022\t\u201cDepartment of Energy\u201d
\n\u2022\t\u201cDepartment of Commerce\u201d
\n\u2022\t\u201cDepartment of Defense\u201d
\n\u2022\t\u201cDepartment of Education\u201d
\n\u2022\t\u201cDepartment of Homeland Security\u201d
\n\u2022\t\u201cSocial Security Administration\u201d
