This paper analyzes President Clinton\u27s first budget. Clinton\u27s budget is his public policy. The budget is compared to Clinton\u27s three stated objectives of stimulating the economy, investing in the future and reducing the deficit. His proposed budget and subsequent modifications are also compared to the budgets of previous administrations. In contrast to Reagan\u27s first budget, which was a radical modification of public policy, Clinton\u27s budget is only an incremental change from the public policies of the Reagan/Bush years
