Business as usual
Sure I'd agree that the entire pork system is a disgrace. That's almost too easy, man.
Back when Democrats dominated Congress, Republicans proposed the line-item veto as the answer. Funny how that idea was quietly forgotten during the six years that the Republicans owned the Congressional plantation. It's still a good idea, and would have no effect on non-financial strings attached to spending bills, e.g. a timelimit on war spending. Congress's Constitutional mandate is to direct and monitor how money is spent, and not just to rubberstamp spending as His Majesty George the W insists.
