Downsizing government

Cato Institute has launched a new website that should be used by everyone - though I doubt it will be. Downsizinggovernment.org, which focuses on the federal government, will:

"...help policymakers and the public understand where federal funds are being spent and how to reform each government department. It describes the failings of federal agencies and identifies specific programs to cut. It also discusses the systematic reasons why government programs are often obsolete, mismanaged, or otherwise dysfunctional.

Some people have lofty visions about how government spending can help society. But the essays on this website put aside such “bedtime stories” about how government programs are supposed to work, and instead focuses on how they actually work in the real world."

I'm sure bloggers and other citizens will find much to write/talk about on these pages.
