During memorable years of yore, President Carter and his asininity generated a movement calling for sunset provisions of all legislation coming out of congress. Five years was the opening lifespan, no consideration for renewing legislation until year 4. And my personal favorite--ban the practice of forward funding. Forward funding is a technique used by bureaucrats and their toadies in congress to inflate initial funding beyond what was politically acceptable. Congress would fund a program for say 3 years. One year into implementation of the program the bureaucrats would say, "Hey, this thing is really moving. We need additional funding." So they could reach into the future and pull back additional funding, all without participation by congress. Neat trick, Huh? Strangely the movement never went anywhere.
