Another approach
How about we cut the federal budget down to about ten dollars, and everything over that goes through a brand-new government budget approval office...in increments of $5(each claim or request filed separately, with not less than 2 months between filings). That'll slow em all down and get some people to sober up. People knew how to support themselves and do and make things without 'help', and if we're serious about ever seeing a United States that's debt-free, then we need to consider how to start reducing and someday eliminating deficit spending. Or, just admit that our nations' finances are administered by idiots and incompetents, and wait a while and it won't matter anymore, maybe ending with a foreign corporate hostile takeover or something. I'm sure the global business people will think of something, give em time...
