Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Democracy We think that, in addition to Republican, Executive and Judicial institutions, good government should provide states and the nation as a whole the facilities with which to participate in legislation, directly and/or in a cameral house chosen by lottery. The American people do believe we are sufficiently edumacated to direct our own affairs. Subscribe to Posts [Atom]

democratic budget control
Just as the federal government must trust the states to develop reasonable and compatible laws, all government must trust the people to do the same. So budgetary use of all the budget, if subject to public review of files accessible by the internet, constructed and approved thereby, and to some legislative or executive veto that would revert vetoed line items to debt repayment, would be reasonably funded by the people. The people would get involved because they had to, the reason usually anyway, even if believed otherwise. A fail-safe printed checksum system can be developed to enable review of the budgets of covert government departments, with procedures to maintain anonymous chains of evidence, trust, archival, legislative and executive review. Better systems of review and opportunity for involvement by the people result in a nation at one with itself. That is good for the whole world.> detail, links and comments >>
