One thing they need to put an end to is the end-of-year spending by government agencies. If their annual budget is not spent, they find ways to spend it, and they even make sure they spend one or two percent more, to justify requesting more for the next year! I worked for the Federal government for almost 30 years and it was so disgusting that every year they would buy new computers and other things, for this reason. Government agencies are not judged on how much they save, but how much they spend! If all taxpayers were aware of just this one thing, they would be outraged! Another ridiculous thing is that they STILL use a private travel agency to arrange airline tickets and lodging for employee's government travel. I actually put in a suggestion about 15 years ago to end this, and it was shot down by someone fairly high up, who stated that current Federal law does not allow employees to arrange their own travel! You can't make this kind of ridiculousness up!
This is 💯% the reason why spending is so bad. I worked as a government contractor in several departments and saw how they rush to "spend money" at the end of the year to justify their budgets for the following year. It's sick! Government should function like a business, or better yet like a non-profit where they need to fundraise for support. If they don't keep to what the people want, they don't get money! Government FOR the people, BY the people!
