That budget is the key. You have to demonstrate/convince the purse holders first. This isn't always an easy task.

Fair. If that's not possible, I'll start looking for another job, because I don't want to deal with a time bomb that will suddenly explode and force me to come in on a holiday of something to fix it. My current company allocates 10-20% of dev time to tech debt, because we all know it'll happen, so we budget for it.
