Acknowledgments
This book began with a series of lectures that I gave following my time working on the US Senate Committee on the Budget. I am grateful to my many colleagues serving Congress, including those who have been with the Congressional Budget Office and Congressional Research Service, as I have learned so much from them over the years.
