Do ya one better. Make all expenditures proportional to the State Census. IE: Any/all bills are sent to the States, per their population, for x% of the debt.

Watch then how Congress, and especially the Senate, starts to crack down on the pork barrel ‘spending’

“...make all expenditures proportional to the state census...”
-
I thought about that one time...

Something like this:
“Upon approval, the annual budget, and any supplemental budgets of the United States shall be proportioned annually to each of the several states according to the number of members in the House of Representatives. The manner and method of collection of the annual proportionment shall be determined by each of the several states.”

But what happens when a district does not, can not, or refuses to cough up the bucks?

Do you not let them have representation anymore, or what?
