If every time I did not budget properly would it be acceptable to ask my boss for more money? Every time? Or is it my fault for not budgeting properly. I'd probably be fired if I did this.

That seems like an unrelated question. I thought we were talking about Clinton's one-time budget to improve roads that included a tax increase to cover it. Clinton wasn't governor in the previous term, he wasn't the one that under-budgeted the roads originally.

Im not sure who caused the budget deficit in the first place, but he is the one that took more money from citizens to fix a problem that should have been fixed by reallocating existing funds.
