Please read the Chapter 12 Case Study. After reading it carefully, please answer the questions that follow:
Case Discussion Questions
1.Do you think the Congress could do better in terms of passing its spending bills and submitting a budget if it did it every two years (create a biennial appropriations process) and use supplemental budgets for emergencies and unplanned problems?
2. Legislation has been proposed to deal with shutdowns by setting up an automatic continuing resolution should Congress fail to secure permanent government funding before the fiscal year deadline (the 2021 version is called the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act). How do you think this would work and is it a good idea?
3. Are there steps that could be taken to “change” the federal budget process so that shutdowns wouldn’t occur? For example, California has a law that takes away the pay of state legislators if they don’t pass the budget on time—could something like that make a difference?

not include the title page or reference pages which are required).

principles within the analysis of the paper. 

Your goal for this assignment is to write a clear, concise brief on a local issue that will give the decision-maker full information on the issue.
Approach it as if you are a legislative staffer, or a policy analyst. Bear in mind that the decision maker has only a limited time to make a decision and does not wish to be surprised by seeing the other side at the upcoming meeting at which the decision-maker will be arguing for or against the policy. 
Use the attached template. Write out your information in paragraphs, just as you would in any other writing assignment. Just using bullet points or brief notes is insufficient and will not earn you many points.
Use scholarly resources and APA formatting. Do not use anything from a political party or advocacy group. These will tend to be one-sided.

This assignment is designed to familiarize students with basic policy analysis. This will help students learn to critically assess the evidence and data and formulate policy analyses.
Please read carefully, be thorough
and think scholarly. I need not remind you that you are doctoral students;
thus, I expect you to meet the same standards I require from ALL submitted
coursework. Correct spelling and grammar; as well as coherent composition and
proper documentation (APA) is expected in ALL work.
Choose
any a federal or statewide policy that you are familiar with. Use the Policy
Analysis Tool provided (the
policy analysis tool is to be used as a template for your MS WORD doc.)
to do a policy analysis of the chosen policy. Remember you must go beyond and
be 360 thinkers. Use the headings provided but DO NOT state the questions.
Simply unpack them and answer them in essay/report style.   Cite relevant literature and
previous findings, and discuss briefly what your alternatives may add. 750 words min for (min) 1250 words total for assignment.
