yes, I read the entire wikipedia article. Did you read it? Because it does not support what you're saying. You'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. Baseline is defined by law. There's no made up definition or arbitrary budget. Budget requests are not baseline budgets. These are two completely different things.
