There really ought to be some part of the government consisting of a bunch of people who decides how much we spend on stuff and writes it all up in documents they vote on—we could call the documents, I don’t know, “laws”?—and who also can ask the people who are spending the money to confirm they are spending the money as directed.
Trying to think of a good name for this sort of congress of people who would vote on and investigate how money gets spent … 🤔
Any suggestions?
