Interesting write up. National debt is scandalous and by right should be voted on by the people. I'm personally not happy with National debt and an a firm believer in balancing the books running a surplus and saving for a rainy day.

Just imagine if there was a 50/50 system - 50% of tax money was put aside for fundamentals - 50% was allocated by the taxpayers.
I'd vote for such a system, where the people get to vote for what percentage is allocated to Military/Health/Roads/Education/Welfare etc
At the end of the day, they are taking money out of my pocket for tax, so I'd like to be able to influence how and where it is spent.
