Hi HN — I put this together as a plain-language, systems-oriented proposal rather than an advocacy piece.
The goal was to ask a narrow question: is it possible to design a fiscal accountability mechanism that is enforceable, non-partisan, and hard to subvert by the same actors it governs?
I’m mainly looking for flaws in the logic, edge cases, or historical examples that show why this would or wouldn’t work.

And why is fiscal 'accountability' important if it doesn't cause inflation?
