I would start giving bonuses to government employees for finding and implementing ways of helping as many people as possible with as little money as possible. I would make those bonuses equal to one half of the first year savings.

> Fmr. GOP Sen. Alan Simpson Calls Republican Refusal To Raise Revenue `Absolute Bullshit' | Former GOP Sen. Alan Simpson blasted his intransigent GOP colleagues on the hill today for failing to reach a deal on the deficit. The expletive-prone co-chairman of President Obama's bipartisan fiscal reform commission slammed Republicans for kowtowing to American for Tax Reform head Grover Norquist ("Republicans can't be in thrall to him") and pushed Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to stand fast on the August 2 deadline. Surveying the lay of the current fiscal land, Simpson said "We're at 15 percent revenue, and historically it's been closer to 20 percent." "We've never had a war without a tax, and now we've got two," he added. "Absolute bullshit."
