How does any business do it? No company knows 100% for sure what sales will be for the next year. They have to project. When projections are off they have to compensate mid year. Government is a business and frankly it needs to run more like one. Deficits are fine in case of national emergency but they have become a matter of habit.

You will have to ask the poster who brought up the "prebates" about those.
