Hey, when you run the country into the ground you need an unlimited budget.
The greatest idea I ever heard for congressional pay and budgeting is where we give a congressional member a set amount for that year to run their office. Say for a Senator we give them $5,000,000 for a year (just a random number). That money can be used however that Senator wants to for business travel, pens, paper, salaries, dinners, staff, cars, limos, etc. Whatever is left over at the end of the year goes to the Senator.
Make them operate how a business does.
