Whats the point of announcing the budget?

veryangryman · 2013-02-24 21:26:36

Just wondering. Every year there are ~10 headline items given on it and some stuff in the document itself. Yet a few weeks, months later, NEW sh1t gets cut. Is the budget just a propaganda machine to make people think "ah well at least they didnt increase/cut XYZ" only for them to be sadly mistaken in the short term…

Just saying that the day in itself is not the headline day that its hyped up to be.
