A cure for pork spending.

Ok maybe not a cure, but a big deterrent would be to outlaw "rider bills" in
legislation. Then there wouldn't be any doubt as to the true contents of a bill. Truth
in advertisement should be mandated for Congress the same as business.

Imagine if a congressman wanted a $2 million dollar museum for legos in their
district, instead of hiding it deep in the bowels of a large appropriations bill, they'd
have to ask for a vote out in the open. How many of them would have the intestinal fortitude to do something like that?
