What if…

- All laws passed by the federal government have to be fully funded. If not fully funded for some period (1-2 quarters), that law will be considered obsolete, defunct, and removed from the law books. There can be no picking and choosing of funding/defunding specific amendments.

- All lawmakers at all levels of government are only paid the fraction of their salary not funded by borrowing. For example, locale whose budget involves borrowing 50% of their spending can only pay their lawmakers 50% of their salary. This would also be reflected in their retirement benefits. Other government workers would not be affected because _only_ lawmakers can make widespread spending decisions which affect and extend beyond their entire constituency.

Would lawmakers construct more thoughtful laws and request more constructive rules?
