Section 2. No imaginary treasury
No budget, distribution, valuation, salary, or surplus shall be treated as real until supported by actual evidence.

The ordinary order of payment is:
- taxes and legally required payments;

- security, hosting, preservation, and ordinary operating costs;
- reasonable compensation for actual labor;
