Proposal Details
Budget Constitutional Guardrail: 1 item funded per proposal with a clear goal
collin_mav100
Abstract
Any budget proposal for a budget expenditure from any of the 5 budget categories must have:
a. 1 clearly funded subject b. It must have a clear and defined completion goal or termination point.
Motivation
Budget proposals that list multiple funded items and multiple goals create confusion in every governmental system ever created. The more complicated proposals get the more things that corrupt people can hide in them.
Rationale
A core principle of this blockchain is Transparency. Proposals for governance action with reference to budget withdrawals need to be short and clear. In order to improve clarity in the budgetary process and trust in the system we believe budget proposals need to be limited to 1 item and each item must have a clear goal and completion criteria.
Another core principle is Decentralization. We need to keep decision making public and in front of the governance body. Hiding multiple subjects in a proposal makes it easier for manipulation to occur.
Forcing funding proposals to have a clear goal and termination point is just good practice in governance.

What if there are two items should only be passed if both pass, and should not be passed if only one passes? I like the spirit of this proposal in promoting transparency and simplicity. It needs more work.
A good idea, but needs to be more well defined (like list the 5 budget categories), and I think we should be looking at what Catalyst has done with Milestones and reviews for continued funding. No need to re-invent a wheel we have working well now.
The philosphical idea here is good, but should be part of a larger framework. I intend to make a blanket instead of having all of these various patches.
