Answer to Question 1

The major difference is the funding source. The Older Americans Nutrition Program is a federally-funded program (public) whereas the Meals on Wheels Association of America is privately funded.

Answer to Question 2

The federal budget process has been described as fractured, contentious, and chaotic mainly because it forces the President and Congress to negotiate and agree on the problems that deserve top priority. There is a limited amount of money, yet so many valid and important causes that need federal financial support. The budget is initially prepared by the Office of Management and Budget, then revised by the president, then submitted to Congress, where the two houses must reconcile any modifications they make before passing budget resolutions.
