These spending bills often include hundreds of items for different government agencies that are more or less guaranteed passes,

Then we need to take a look at those programs to see if they're really worth funding. I bet we can cut 90% at least.

This is my feeling. If you can’t defend it on its own, it shouldn’t get bundled and blanket passed. The janitorial votes I think keep once necessary expenses carried over each year without justification. Just like your family’s budget, it has to be justified each month.
