The process died when Nixon whined about budgets so Congress created a law forcing the president to submit his budget. Every budget a president sends to Congress is dead on arrival. Reagan mastered the art of lying in his budgets by forecasting record growth during a recession. After he did that the entire budget process broke down. A president can submit a budget that has a zero chance of becoming law and then say he wanted less spending but in reality, he'll leave out spending for wars (Bush) or disaster relieve (all of them) etc. The biggest problem I see is that after Citizens United, Congress has to spend 90% of its time raising money so there isn't time to legislate. If I were god for a day, I'd throw republican judges into hell and then create a law forcing Congress to work five days a week, 8-5 and they'd have to learn the issues in real debates.
