Hi Mat,
I must admit that I have probably misunderstood your request. I have 
assumed that you want the Budget as the x axis and the KOST as the 
y axis. You seemed to be asking for Budget to be always 100 and that 
didn't make sense. For some reason the "scipen" option stopped 
working for me after the first plot and so I couldn't get rid of the 
scientific notation on the x axis. Also this was done in base graphics 
rather than lattice. I also left the "Gesamtbudget" (Total budget) out as 
it would have squeezed most of the dots even farther to the left. 
However, it might help.

mwdat<-read.table(text=
"KOST                  Budget        IST
1060                 -2.18          0
1080                  91037.71   91647.15
1100                  955573.87  907938.98
1120                  23326.8          0
1150                 2521.57          0
1180                 51302.03   48760.45
1200                  2027.04    -1667.5
