The whole idea of a “Budget” is part of the Scam. The government should be given a fixed allowance and forced to live within it.
I agree in principle, but not in practice. I think that the government needs to have a fixed allowance in the ratio of money vs. population size (like so much per capita), but that’s problematic too. I like the sentiment, because government needs to fit in it’s bounds, not bounds expanding to fit government. If I’m saying that right... hopefully I did.
