My Investigation so far suggests that the api libraries don't let you set up individual budgets. My current project emulates a single budget by generating a unique name for the budget (in my case InternalCampaignId.GoogleCampaignId.Budget). Then to ensure it's associated only with one campaign, I check that referenceCount == 1 before any operations on the budget. If it fails, an error is thrown and the operation does not happen. In most cases this is enough to make it act as if the budget was still part of the campaign object. If you have any questions, let me know.
