I’m all in on department specific budgets. Fat chance the fat ass GOP leaders will ever do it. They give away a huge amount of power by being so lazy.
Also, if I were in charge, here is how I would approach budgeting. I would put out a memo to all departments. I would instruct them to list in order of priority all their funding needs. Departments not complying could expect budget cuts in areas they might not want otherwise.
