closeIdeally this is a simple problem with a simple solution. You tell the people what the cost is and its benefit for the present. You then tell them what they will lose and how much they will save if the money is not there. They vote "yes" or "no" whether to cut the budget and 51 percent wins the contest. Because voting on every measure becomes impractical we must depend on our elected representatives to make the best decision he/she can as to what the people desire.
Every "the people" must be a responsible citizen and research for the good of the people, then contact their elected representative and tell him/her their desires, then sit back and let the chips fall where they may.
Did I not say this problem had a simple solution? Oh, I forgot to tell you, the people rarely act in unison.
