Similarly, when it comes to increasing foreign-aid budgets, politicians want solutions that are not “felt” by taxpayers (that is, voters) and that can remain outside of national budgets. However, opaque solutions designed to avoid critical public scrutiny do not seem particularly democratic.
同样，每当要增加对外援助预算时，政治家们都希望有能不让纳税人（即投票人）“察觉”的，与国家预算泾渭分明的解决方案。然而，为了避免公众质询而设计的不透明方案就显得不够民主了。“创新”的财政方案还可能会破坏在募集和使用公共资金上的职责分工。
