We know that many Americans believe that Government operates for the benefit of the few and the privileged. They believe the system does not operate fairly. and their lack of confidence in us affects our ability to enact the reforms and make the hard decisions which must be made if we are to get our country back on the right track again. Last Congress. we actively sought to reform many areas of Government spendingwe reduced Government spending by $53 billion. reformed the welfare system. restructured farm supports. rewrote telecommunications law. reformed the Federal procurement system. and adopted major immigration reforms. We identified and reformed areas of Government spending which needed fundamental reform because they did not work as well as they should. As part of this process. a bipartisan group of Senators examined some programs whose primary beneficiaries are profitmaking enterprises and proposed reforming 12 specific programs which are characterized by some element of corporate subsidization.
