Simple. No budget passed by Congress by x date, president sets budget for the year.

Need a balanced budget amendment, very few exemptions requiring 75% vote in both houses to raise taxes or exceed revenue.

Need an amendment prohibiting federal money going to local governments and local projects.

Need an amendment making members of Congress employees of the state, not the federal government. Each congressman's budget is set by their state. Remove all post term benefits. Forced retirement at age 65. Require congressmen to spend 300 nights in home state each year. We have teleconferencing/video for their meetings, hearings and votes. (Could strip some lobbying power if not all in DC at same time). Travel out of country approved by state governor.

And finally. No member of Congress or thier immeadiate family can work for any company that receives government money. May not work for any company that lobbies. Same for president and USSC justices.

Impossible dream, but why not dream...
