The Budget Debacle

Laptop Battery Nearly one-third of the way into the fiscal year, Congress is limping its way toward passing the bills to cover this year's spending. The Senate last week belatedly approved a $390 billion spending package that wraps together the appropriations bills Congress failed to deal with last year.

Thinkpad We have become resigned to government by continuing resolution -- a peculiarly Orwellian euphemism for procrastination. But the combination of the extreme tardiness of the measure, the large number of spending bills lumped together (11 of 13), and the relative paucity of debate makes this year's budget debacle particularly appalling. And that is leaving aside the substance of the spending measure, which manages to find funding for lawmakers' pet projects ($1 million for noxious weed management in Montana, $20 million for Alaskan seafood marketing) while skimping on homeland security and the needy. With the measure headed to a conference that is unlikely to conclude before mid-February, agencies are left wondering how much money they have to spend (or to cut). President Bush is about to submit his 2004 budget before this year's spending is finalized. The process is bad for the country and a discredit to the Senate, the House and the Bush administration.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft The spending could have been agreed on last year, but for a fight over about $10 billion, a relative pittance in the context of a $2 trillion budget. Senate appropriators agreed to the disputed money when Democrats were in control last year, but the administration insisted that that Congress hew to an arbitrary spending cap. This year, with the GOP in charge, the Senate reluctantly toed the administration line (or appeared to, with accounting gimmickry worthy of Enron). The administration's lectures on fiscal discipline would have more credence if it were not simultaneously pushing another huge tax cut and minimizing the impact of the ballooning deficit. Mr. Bush is like a homeowner who has launched a lavish, granite-countertops-in-the-kitchen renovation but balks at writing the checks for basic maintenance.

Laptop Computers There is ample blame to go around. The House dutifully passed a budget resolution (the provision that sets overall spending targets) that hewed to the president's capricious cap. Then it promptly abdicated its responsibility to make the hard individual choices that entails, leaving that nasty business up to the Senate. Now, with the election safely behind them, House members can hash it all out in the shelter of a conference and a simple up or down vote on the floor. The Senate took a dive of a different sort. Fearful of opening the door to more tax cuts, Senate Democrats failed to pass any budget resolution at all for the first time since 1975, giving President Bush the upper hand in insisting that his own spending limit was the magic number. When the Senate finally got down to business this month, lawmakers resorted to the cheap fix of across-the-board cuts (which likely will be undone in conference) and accounting tricks such as declaring some of the spending an emergency (and therefore not subject to limits) or borrowing from 2004 funds. As Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter (R) said during the debate, it's enough to give sausage a bad name.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
