It has already been tested and it works.
Gov't spending is capped and follows inflation/growth (pick your poison).
If inflation/growth goes up 3%, so can gov't spending.
If it goes down, so does gov't spending.
If it stays the same, so does gov't spending.

At first blush, this sounds like a good idea. Where's the rub? How about when things like moblizing our armed forces and sustaining a war are necessary? When things like national security are at stake (Iraq aside), spending can't be hamstrung by what the percentage of growth was last year.
