Government, of course, actually earns no money; All money government has was seized from someone who earned it. I believe that before any politician should be able to sign any spending, he (or she) should have to sign a statement reflecting their understanding that that project needs the money more than some family needs it to eat, pay for school, buy clothes or just survive. I fully believe that any necessary gov. projects that need money would have more than enough by simply eliminating unneeded projects. While I believe we need gov. buildings, do they really need to be fancier than the homes of people the money is seized from? Do we really water fountains more than some family needs to eat? If gov. waste was eliminated, not only would there be no need to raise taxes (to seize money from those who earned it), but taxes could be reduced.

That would be a good start.
