For instance, the total bill is determined as it always has been, but one could choose to allocate a significant portion of their money to any given department. Say, 70% of mine was at my discretion. I would probably earmark most of it for scientific research, keeping it out of welfare/war programs as much as possible. I think this would be a GREAT system!
