Here's What Congress Can Do to Cut Waste and Debt

While politicians debate expansive new government programs, even amid a worsening debt situation, fiscally prudent Americans may find some solace in alternative plans put forward to rein in our government's bloated budget.

The Government Accountability Office last month released its annual report on opportunities to reduce fragmentation, overlap, and duplication within federal agencies and programs.

The report examines the fiscal health of the federal government, accounting for its wasteful spending and noting its various policy sins.

These annual duplication reports have a meaningful impact on changing government policy and saving money.

The Government Accountability Office does not evaluate whether a program's goals or results are suitable for government action; instead, virtually all identified programs duplicate, overlap with, or compete with other government programs.

The Government Accountability Office annual report and the Heritage blueprint share several commonsense fixes to reduce government spending.

If Americans want to move toward a freer and more prosperous economic future, they should start by demanding that Congress implement all of the Government Accountability Office's cost-saving recommendations.
