1008 October 28, 1994 HOW WASHINGTON WASTED YOURMOMY INTHE 1995 APPROPRIATIONS BILLS INTRODUCTION President Bill Clinton and many Members of Congress are trying to convince skepti cal voters that l ast years massive tax bill, the largest tax increase in U.S. history, finally put Washingtons fiscal house in order. They cite as evidence the fact that the budget deficit for fiscal 1994, which ended September 30, dipped to $203 billion, the lowest level since Ronald Reagan left office. While news of a temporary decline in the deficit may cheer many taxpayers, however, the Congressional Budget Offices projections indi cate that the deficit will rise rapidly in the future, nearly doubling within ten years. The fiscal 1995 appropriations bills, recently passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, are a clear sign that Washington is still addicted to profligate pork barrel spending.

These 13 bills were packed with the kinds of projects and spendi ng items that incum bents believe will win them reelection. Some of the more egregious spending items hid den in this years appropriations bills include 1.5 million for the 21 st Street Corridor Project in Wichita, Kansas 2 million for the Farmers Market i nToledo, Ohio 750,000 for the SciTrek Science Museum in Downtown Atlanta 462,000 for the Education licenser Commission in Washington, D.C 2.8 million for a Army Corps of Engineers Building in Walla Walla, Wash ington 2.6 million for a Navy Child Developme n t Center on Parris Island, South Carolina 4.75 million for the Rice Germplasm Center in Stuttgart, Arkansas 1.1 million in the Agriculture appropriations bill for a Childrens Hospital in Arkansas 600,000 for the Fish Farming Experimental laboratory in Stu t tgart Arkansas 42 million for Official Mail for Members of Congress and another 464,000 for election year moving costs 200,000 for an Army Corps of Engineers investigation of the Malibu Coastal Area in California and $13 million for construction at the Ro b ert C. Byrd locks and Dam in West Virginia 40 million for the Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Project in New York City 1.5 million for a survey of Boston-to-New York Amtrak riders to deter mine modal preferences 30 million to continue the Interstate Co mmerce Commission (ICC which the House earlier this year had voted to abolish 150 million in breast cancer research funding in the Department of Defense appropriations bill.

These and hundreds of similar spending items indicate that last years budget deal which purportedly contained $250 billion in spending cuts, did not cut federal spending to the bone as some supporters have claimed. Yet many in Washington insist that the only way to achieve further deficit reduction is to enact draconian cuts in large e n title ment programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. While it is true that such things as the ris ing cost of many federal health care programs will help the deficit balloon to an esti mated $397 billion by fiscal 2004, it is not true to say that nothing ca n be done to lower the deficit until major entitlement reform is achieved.

The fiscal 1995 appropriations bills are littered with hundreds of programs which, if eliminated or cut, would save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. If Members of Con gress we re serious about cutting the deficit, they would begin by systematically rein venting the spending budget through a number of techniques. Among them x Cutting outmoded programs and programs with a long history of failure x Cutting programs benefiting pure ly local or commercial interests; and Beginning to use innovative techniques such as privatization.

These approaches have been successfully employed by governments throughout the world and by state and local governments in this country. They enable governm ents to achieve major reductions in spending while maintaining the services that voters currently demand of government. To rely solely on health care or other politically difficult entitle ment reforms to cut the deficit will simply protect the kinds of s p ending that taxpayers most associate with irresponsible government 2 SEVEN FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE BUDGET RULES Contrary to the impression conveyed by the White House, the $203 billion budget defi cit recorded for the last fiscal year and the projected 162 b i llion deficit projected for the current fiscal year are not permanent trends. In the years following this temporary de cline, the governments own figures indicate that the deficit begins to soar-reaching 257 billion by fiscal 2000 and $397 billion by fisc al 20

04. Major entitlement reform would improve this gloomy pic ture signifi cantly, but law makers flinch from addressing entitlements be cause the politi cal obstacles are so daunting.

Yet, despite the conventional wisdom that only major enti t lemen t reform can make any difference in the deficit, Con gress does not have to wait for 400 300 200 100 Under Clinton Policies, Federal Deficit to Nearly Double In Next Ten Years Projected Deficits in Billions of Dollars $397 257 23 I I994 I996 I998 2000 2002 2004 Fiscal Years burm Congressional Budget ORice sweeping entitlement reform to make a permanent and lasting impact on long-term defi cit reduction. What Members of Congress will have to do is stop budgeting as usual and take a critical look at every spe nding item in the federal budget.

Before Congress embarks on such a comprehensive review of the federal budget, law makers should establish a set of rules or guidelines. These guidelines will enable Mem bers of Congress to take a hard look not only at thei r own spending behavior, but also at programs and spending items they often take for granted. The following seven rules should be included in any set of guidelines 1 Question the need for any program that is more than 50 years old and eliminate any which i s outmoded or obsolete Most taxpayers have heard the old adage that the closest thing to immortality is a federal program. But most would be stunned to learn how old many federal programs and agencies really are. Large segments of the federal bureaucracy w ere created dec ades ago for purposes that have long since been forgotten. But bureaucrats and agency supporters are remarkably adept at reinventing these programs to address whatever perceived problem is fashionable at the time Example: The National Fert i lizer Development Center in Muscle Shoals, Alabama was built as a munitions plant in 1919 to serve the militarys needs during World War I. Years later it was converted into a fertilizer plant and given to the Tennessee 3 Valley Authority. This federal fer t ilizer research project became obsolete long ago with the growth of the private fertilizer industry, an industry which generates some 9 billion in sales annually. To keep up with the times, and the flow of federal dol lars this program has changed its nam e to the TVA Environmental Research Cen ter. Despite a new name fit for the 1990s, however, it should be closed, saving tax payers $185 million over five years Example: Started in 1935 to encourage private utilities to provide electricity, and later teleph o ne service, the Rural Electrification Administration long ago completed its mission. Although nearly 100 percent of rural America has electric service and nearly 98 percent has telephone service, the REA was approved for over $1 billion in taxpayer subsid i es this year. Recent reports indicate that its management and sup porters have found a new way to try to justify REAS existence: by offering loans to provide satellite television services. The REA should be abolished, saving taxpayers more than 260 millio n over five years.

There are dozens of such dinosaurs in the federal budget that Congress should seri ously consider either abolishing or reforming. Examples of such programs and agen cies and the years they were created include The Army Corps of Engineers, 1824 83 The U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 x U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1862 x The Mining Act of 1872 The Cooperative State Research Service, 1888 The Bureau of Reclamation, 1902 x The U.S. Forest Service, 1905 The Bureau of Mines, 1910 The Naval Petroleum Res e rves, 191 2 x The Agriculture Extension Service, 191 4 x The National Park Service, 191 6 The National Helium Reserves, 1925 Z The Davis-Bacon Act, 1931 The Tennessee Valley Authority, 1933 The Export-Import Bank, 1934 The Soil Conservation Service, 1935 T he Power Marketing Administrations, 1937 4 2) Eliminate programs with a long history of failure The culture of government assumes that the shortcomings of agencies can always be solved with more money. So rather than scrutinize a failed program more close l y or simply close it down, Congress will pour millions more taxpayer dollars into it. Con gress must learn to cut taxpayers losses before they get out of control Example: According to the General Accounting Office, there is little or no evidence to show t hat the Small Business Administration has had any impact on expanding small business development since it was formed in 19

54. Rather than eliminate this program with such a failed history, Congress and the White House approved 258 million in new spending for fiscal 1995 Example: Since 1935, the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has loaned over 172 billion to farmers and rural communities. But according to the House Appro priations Committee report accompanying the fiscal 1994 Department of Agricul ture a p propriations bill, the unpaid principal on all FmHA loans as of September 30, 1992, totals $56 billion. Based upon FmHAs past performance, it is likely that a sizable portion of this total, and the interest due on it, will never be repaid. Fur thermore, t he GAO reports that FmHA is making new loans to individuals just so 2 they may repay old loans. This $2.6 billion-per-year program is beyond reform and should be closed down 3) Eliminate or consolidate duplicate programs.

While few private companies would allow even two departments to perform identi cal functions, the federal government routinely permits dozens of departments to carry out the same activities. Duplication within the government is not just tolerated by Con gress; it is exacerbated by Congres s . Two congressional traits give rise to this wasteful duplication of effort. First, Congress hates to eliminate any program it has created, re gardless of how inefficient or ineffective it may be. Second, Members of Congress like to take credit for creati ng new programs to solve whatever problem may be in fash ion, even if there already are programs in place to address the issue.

The recently passed crime bill is a perfect example. The crime bill created at least 15 new social programs at a cost of some $7 billion over the next six years, supposedly to address the root causes of crime. Yet, over the past 25 years, the government has spent lavishly on programs virtually identical to the ones created in the new crime bill.

Since 1965, government has spent, a fter adjusting for inflation 161 billion on com munity and economic aid programs 202 billion on social service programs 204 bil lion on job training programs, and $292 billion on targeted education programs. There is ample evidence to suggest that this sp e nding has failed to solve the root causes of crime, and some programs may even have exacerbated social ills linked to crime 1 2 U.S. General Accounting Office, Transition Series, Housing and Community Development Issues (GAO/OCG-93-22TR December 1992, p. 20.

U.S. General Accounting Office, The Farmers Home Administration: Billions of Dollars in Farm Loans Are At Risk GAO/RCED-92-86 April 1992 5 Last year, Vice President Ai Gores National Performance Review identified vast ar eas of duplication in social sp ending. For example Some 14 separate government departments and a encies spend $24 billion a Washington spends about $60 billion a year on the well-being of children 3g year on 150 employment and training programs.

But we have created at least 340 separat e programs for families and children administered by 11 different federal agencies and department Duplication exists throughout other areas of the government as well. In some cases entire Cabinet agencies duplicate the efforts of other programs and depart m ents. For example, the GAO reports that the Department of Commerce shares its mission with at least 7 1 federal departments, agencies, and office Further, says the GAO, Export promotion programs are distributed among 10 agen cies. The U.S. Department of A g riculture, not Commerce, receives about 74 percent of total funding for these programs, although it accounts for only about 10 percent of US. exports. Congress has ignored the GAOs finding and continues to spend bil lions of dollars on these duplicative f u nctions 4) Eliminate purely local activities now funded or managed by the federal government Congress has never been content to limit itself to matters of national or federal inter est. Because Members like to take credit for solving problems, the federal govern ment is integrally involved in many activities that were once the sole responsibility of state or local governments. According to Gores National Performance Review, much of Washingtons domestic agenda 226 billion, to be precise, is allocated to sta te and local governments through an array of more than 600 different grant programs.

Moreover, Members of Congress also use the appropriations process to earmark fed eral funds for specific progrk that have nothing to do with national interests and often tie the budget hands of state and local officials.

There are hundreds of these earmarked projects in the federal budget All are loca nature; none should be the responsibility of a national or federal body such as Con gress. Some examples of those found in the appendix to this study include 1 million for an airport access road in Jacksonville, Florida 1 million to upgrade 96th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana Z $14 million for an airport access road in Detroit, Michigan 1.2 million to improve Peace and Unity Streets in Thomasville North Carolina in 3 4 Ibid p. 51 5 The National Performance Review: Creating a Government that Works Better and Costs Less (Washington.

Portland, Oregon 5) Fund no project or research that benefits private industry directly.

The federal government spends billions of dollars each year funding research an d business development activities that should be the responsibility of the industries which benefit directly from the research. These projects amount to a direct taxpayer subsidy of the research and development projects of private firms. Eliminating tax p ayer-funded research would force these companies to undertake their own research and development and to consider more carefully the value of competing research pro jects.

Among the essentially commercial research projects Congress should eliminate 600,000 for the Fish Farming Experimental laboratory in Stuttgart, Arkan sas. This project benefits the $200 million-per-year catfish industry 1 07,000 for Kenaf research. For many years, Congress has funded research on turning this woody plant into paper product s on the grounds that it has great commercial application. If so, private industry should fund the research 1 million for a onetime grant to the State of Alaska for the protection and restoration of salmon habitat in the Kenai River watershed area. Ac cord i ng to theconference report accompanying the appropriations bill for the De partment of Commerce, the Kenai River and its tributaries support sport and commercial fisheries valued at $100 million annually. With so much at stake, lo cal industry or the Stat e of Alaska should fund such a project, not taxpayers na tionwide. travel industry spends billions each year promoting tourism in the U.S. There is no need for taxpayer financing of such activities The $90 million Market Promotion Program subsidizes foreig n advertising costs for large U.S. business, such as McDonalds Corporation, the Pillsbury Company, and Ernest and Julio Gallo Winery, Inc. Taxpayers should not be contributing to the cost of routine profit-generating activities of pri vate industry 1 6.4 m i llion for the U.S. Travel and Tourism Administration. The private 7 6) Use privatization techniques to improve services, reduce costs and remove government from commercial activities Privatization is now universally recognized as an effective way to deliv e r high-qual ity public services at the lowest possible cost. Governments from Moscow in Russia to Jersey City New Jersey, are using a variety of privatization techniques such as asset sales, contracting out, and voucher schemes to lower their budget defic its and improve public services. Only in Washington are these sound fiscal measures dismissed as gim micks or quick fixes. Congress has forbidden many agencies from even studying the prospects for privatizing agency functions.

The federal government simply cannot afford to continue many of the activities it has funded for decades and continues to fund in this years appropriations bills. Privati zation is the only hope of survival for many inefficient and financially faltering p r o grams, because they are starved of capital due to federal budget constraints and lack the private market disciplines needed to force managers to use capital efficiently. Con sider the problems in three programs documented by the GA0.6 x Many of the 337 d ams built by the Bureau of Reclamation are over a half-cen tury old and in desperate need of repair The Forest Service now needs $644 million to pay for the maintenance and re construction of trails and recreation sites Within a few years, many of the Arm y Corps of Engineers aging 125 bil lion inventory of water resources projects will have reached the end of their design lives.

Privatization is probably the only remaining way to raise the capital necessary for these programs. But Congress will have to cha nge its arcane attitude toward the use of private commercial capital and management techniques. If the political culture does change in Washington, there are numerous privatization opportunities available.

Among them market Sell the governments $200 billi on direct loan portfolio to the secondary loan Sell the Power Marketing Administrations through a public stock offering Sell public lands or give them back to the states Sell Amtrak through a public stock offering Privatize the Postal Service through an e m ployee stock option plan 6 U.S. General Accounting Office, Transition Series. Natural Resources Issues (GAO/OCG-93- 17TR December 1992, pp 8-9 8 7) Stop forcing the bureaucracy to waste money No owner of a private firm would make rules that force company m anagers to waste money. But Congress routinely enacts rules and mandates that force agency managers to waste billions of taxpayers dollars Example: The U.S. Park Service is prohibited from covering its costs by raising the entrance fees it charges to visi tors. Because of this rule, the Park Service now charges tourists a fraction of the real costs associated with admitting each visitor.

The Service spends $1 billion per year on the operations of the National Park sys tem but receives less than $30 million back through fees.

Example: The Davis-Bacon Act of 193 1 increases the costs of government construc tion contracts by over $1 billion annually. It does so by forcing contractors to pay union scale wages on all federally funded construction contracts, even though less expensive labor often is available. This legislation originally was enacted to keep black workers off federal construction sites. That is precisely what it has done dur ing the last 60 years. A similar law, the Service Contract Act, serves th e same func tion for federally funded service contracts. The extra costs imposed by these laws 2 billion per year.

Sometimes even well-meaning acts of Congress can cost. the bureaucracy in both money and staff time lost from an agencys mission. For example , the National Per formance Review reports that in 1993, Congress requested 5,348 reports from federal agencies. These reports cost millions of dollars to produce, but only a handful of con gressional staffers probably ever bother to read them CONCLUSION T he temporary dip in the federal budget deficit should not lull taxpayers into believing politicians claims that Washingtons fiscal house is in order. Nothing could be further from the truth. The appropriations bills recently passed by Congress and signed by Clin ton for the 1995 fiscal year contain as much or more pork and wasteful spending as in previous years.

Congress seems to have learned nothing from years of running large budget deficits: It continues to pour money into outmoded programs created 50 t o 100 years ago and pro grams with a long history of failure; it continues to spend federal tax dollars on purely lo cal projects or programs benefiting specific commercial industries; and it continues to force agencies to waste taxpayers money. Hardworki ng American families can no longer afford budgeting as usual.
