The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
If you have a line of business - I know this as a CEO - or if you have a teenager - I know this as a parent - who have a spending problem, what do you do? You quit giving them money.
I think what's fascinating is how many people are playing in politics who maybe haven't played before.
We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.
