1. I'm curious to know,

How a direct democracy votes on budget items and things of that nature. I understand how the populous could vote either an up or down motion, but how to allocate specific items is beyond me. If a council or committee decided the make-up of a budget, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of direct democracy?
