Promising to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending is a common tactic among politicians looking to justify increased spending. Previous presidents from both parties have emphasized efforts to cut these areas as part of fiscal responsibility, despite limited success. Ronald Reagan believed such cuts could lead to budget balance even with tax cuts and military spending increases. Bill Clinton aimed for budget surpluses through such eliminations, while Barack Obama's initiative targeted improper payments. These historical efforts illustrate a systemic reliance on vague promises instead of concrete budgetary reforms.
