The quickest way to put an end to pork spending it to not allow attachments to a bill that have nothing to do with the bill is talking about. If someone wants $10M for a local project, then write a bill for it and see if you can get it past your buddies without attaching it to medicare or some other vital piece of legislation.

Another way to save a big chunk of money would be to take away the per diem they get. There is no longer a need for it since they make more than enough money now to cover their living expenses. Per diem was originally instituted to help defray the cost of having to leave home for awhile and make for the meager money they got to represent us. This is no longer the case and this waste needs to end.
