I agree completely. Something has to be done to cut the pork. The incessant "deals" that are strung together in a daisy chain of spending on all kinds of worthless BS has to stop. The only way that is going to happen is if the executive branch says........"this item and that item and all those items are out".........go override them if you think you can do it.

I see absolutely no downside to this.

I was sorely disappointed with the Supreme Court decision.
