The 2008 Fiscal Budget is now available.

You can opt for Budget Lite (with or without a similarly named brew) and read the Treasury Department's press release here. It highlights what the Administration thinks are the best parts of the plan. Of most interest to you and me (well, to me at least) in the press release are the references to improving tax compliance, i.e., catching cheats who are contributing to the tax gap, and short- and long-term fixes to the AMT.

Or you can electronically thumb through the whole thing yourself here. It leads off with why the prez thinks his signature tax cuts, most of which are scheduled to expire at the end of 2010, should be made permanent.

Looks like I've got my week's reading lined up.
