#1 Seems a good start would be cutting"Pork barrel politics".

#2 I'm sure Citizens Against Government Waste could give Congress a hand. They've identified $22.5 Billion in this year's "Pig Book". Guess who has a prominent share of that? Did you say our wonderful D-KKK??? Right on! Problem is, he's not alone. Very, very few of our elected "servants" escape unscathed.

#3 Pork barrel politics will stop when politicians think they need to hide the roads and government contracts they bring into their districts instead of bragging about them. How many people really vote against a politician because of spending in their district? How many of the US folks on Rantburg do?

That said, if you can't find at least 1% waste in any operation (public or private), you're not really looking. If I thought this was on the level, I'd be all for it.

#4 Strange. They sure sing a different tune when it comes to military spending...
