A fellow who helped to clean up a big mess in the state of California, feels that both of our plans are needed.
Then, we need a way via the internet to make sure that whomever is in charge of a department/agencuy does not start inflating budgets and hiring more people to have more budget $'s and power. When a rat or conservative gets caught doing things like this, he/she/it get dragged out into the spotlight on the internet for exposure. In election years, his Rat or conservative boss would probably have to fire him.
Perfect, no, but as least we would have some control and ways to remove the bad people like these clymers at EPA.
That's where the impenetrable budget cap comes in. The authorizing legislation (or amendment) would state an irrevocable limit on funding, thereby indiretly limiting the power of the department. The more of OUR MONEY they have, the more trouble they can get into.
