This bill would require regular outside reviews of every federal program to find waste, overlap, and outdated work. The first full review must happen within one year of the law taking effect, and then every 10 years after that. An independent auditor, hired through the Government Accountability Office, would suggest merging programs that do the same thing and shutting down programs that wasted money, finished their job, became irrelevant, or failed to meet their goals. Congress would then get a single package of changes to vote on, without amendments, to carry out those recommendations. Any savings must go to pay down the national debt, and agencies must try to place affected workers in other federal jobs.
