	It reminds me of Warren Buffett’s ~~half-joking~~ idea to “end the deficit in five minutes” by disqualifying lawmakers from re-election if the federal deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. Even if ~~taken as satire~~, ~~ideas~~ like these ~~highlight~~ creative ~~ways~~ to ~~add~~ checks and balances to fiscal policy.		It reminds me of Warren Buffett’s idea to “end the deficit in five minutes” by disqualifying lawmakers from re-election if the federal deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. Even if originally offered tongue-in-cheek, proposals like these spark creative thinking about how to build stronger checks and balances into fiscal policy.

Interesting reel from Mario Zelaya about Pierre Poilievre’s pledge to introduce a Taxpayer Protection Act that would require any new tax or tax increase to be approved by a national referendum—not just by politicians. His framing: taxpayers should have a direct say, and any new spending should be offset by cuts elsewhere.

	It's sort of reminds me of Warren Buffett's idea to “end the deficit in five minutes” by passing a law that disqualifies current lawmakers from re-election if the federal deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. I mean, it might not be as bold as this, although apparently buffet meant this more like a joke, even small measures to increase the checks and balances I think can go a long way.
