Maybe you weren't looking hard enough?
If they do it again for yesterday's budget, this will be the fifth year Wildrose has released a very thorough alternative budget explain how they would budget differently than the PCs. It goes well beyond the unicorn and rainbow level of discussion and deeper into specifics.
Here's a link to last year's:

While I don't agree with much of it, I wouldn't accuse them of lacking specifics either.
