The idea you have is nice, but congress doesn't pass real budgets any more. That means that there is a lot more ability to make the money slosh around.

Like it or not, the budgets passed by congress are budgets from the perspective of the constitution.

You'll have to excuse me for being mortally terrified of "we are unencumbered by the law and will do whatever we want with power."

Laws have never encumbered humans. We're governed by social norms and those have been destroyed: massive immigration, sexual mutilation of children, and wanton spending of US taxpayer dollars.
