Would certainly be good if it could be implemented.  This is probably
the
realms of computer generated though.

Keeping it simpler might work.

You have the usual "fixed" military spending of most campaign rules, but
can
borrow against future earnings at a cost.
For every 10MCr you borrow, you must pay 2MCr per turn interest and pay
back
the principle within 10 turns or have it permanently deducted from your
core
budget due to the stagnating domestic economy.
