Suppose the Government decided to set up different funds for operations:
For example here are 7 general areas
Gen govt operations ( congress, ect)
Education
Foreign Aid
Homeland Security
Military
National Parks (incl historical sites)
Social Service (welfare, ect)
and the amount of tax deducted from your pay check would be sub-divided and indicated on you pay voucher?
Further, the Government could not borrow from one line item to fund another. So, if Social service was running low on money, folk would only get a partial check.
Thoughts?

Would this system work if applied to your local church and denominational budgets?

Back to the OP and the answer is:

The idea has some merit but may be too complicated to put into practice. -

I favor the plan. Of your very limited choices I'll chose 100% national parks.

Seems a bit confusing, though if a citizen wants they could just check the budget and divide.

Gen govt operations ( congress, ect)
Military (including border security)
National Parks and lands (incl historical sites)
Social Security
Federal Transporation Systems (DOT)
Things like foreign aid - if needed - should be run through congress each time it is considered. Our Federal Government should never had any hand in welfare or social security - but that cat is out of the bag. So many of us have been paying into it now for so long that it is too big an issue to just die away.
Can you imagine putting the federal government on a budget? They'd have apoplexy!
