We present a deterministic, polynomial time, budget feasible mechanism scheme, that is approximately truthful and yields a constant factor approximation to \EDP. In particular, for any small $\delta>0$ and $\varepsilon>0$, we can construct a $(12.98\,,\varepsilon)$-approximate mechanism that is $\delta$-truthful and runs in polynomial time in both $n$ and $\log\log\frac{B}{\epsilon\delta}$. -By applying previous work on budget feasible mechanisms with a submodular objective, one could {\em only} have derived either an exponential time deterministic mechanism or a randomized polynomial time mechanism. We also establish that no truthful, budget-feasible algorithms are possible within a factor $2$ approximation, and show how to generalize our approach to a wide class of learning problems, beyond linear regression. +By applying previous work on budget feasible mechanisms with a submodular objective, one could {\em only} have derived either an exponential time deterministic mechanism or a randomized polynomial time mechanism.
