This is actually a wonderful idea and it's never going to happen, hear me out:
Everything on the Blockchain is recorded permanently.
Every single dollar of the US budget would be open to external auditing by anyone.
There's zero chance that agencies like the DoD and the State Department want to have a perfectly transparent ledger of where every red cent goes because it would blow the cover off of a ton of bullshit (although it would probably require years of data analysis and investigative journalism).
The Panama Papers had people sweating. The entire US budget being on the Blockchain would make RFK the top candidate for the John F Kennedy award for excellence in presidential policy and I am here for it.
If there's anything that you should have learned from Snowden and Assange, it's that exposure is not enough. Websites like Open secrets have not made a dent in how dark money is tossed around.
Yeah, I'm not saying that it would achieve any change - hence why the most impact I could see it having would be to make people sweat and possibly get them to take RFK out.
I'm just saying that if it was going to happen (it won't) then however the government chose manage it would be a good outcome.
