yes, I read the entire wikipedia article. Did you read it? Because it does not support what you&#x27;re saying. You&#x27;ve made up a definition of baseline budgets that does not exist... it sounds like your version combines baseline budgets -- which are created by the CBO; and budget requests -- which are submitted by the various departments of the executive.<p>Baseline is defined by law. There&#x27;s no made up definition or arbitrary budget.<p>Budget requests are not baseline budgets. These are two completely different things.
