The problem is when the voters see a government with expenses > revenues and send someone in to implement:

1) Increase government spending on services by 10%

2) Reduce taxes by 10%

3) Run a balanced budget. No borrowing or tricks.

The politicians need to have some level of freedom to deal with impossible voter demands and then you get back to voting for people who are most likely to make decisions the voter likes.
