Frequent Flyer Miles accrued in Government travel are presently given to the flyers for their private use. Some executives are racking up flyer miles and hotel points for vacations and travel with their families, which could better serve the tax payers who paid for them if those miles were used for Government business travel. It might also be an incentive for Government brass to curb their extravagance for travel.

Limit travel for business conferences and training to twice a year. Anything beyond that should require justification approval from leadership at least two levels higher than the local leadership.
Too many executives are on a travel gravy train.

Suggest two awards for each budgeted operation:

In October of each year, reward Government operations for underspending their fiscal budget by letting them keep the unspent money to use for bonuses, as though it was a profit.
The following new year budget should be based solely on the projected needs of the operation, not on the previous year’s budget. Even increased spending should be justified by the premise that it in some way will ultimately increase Government efficiency, either as an investment that will increase savings in the long run or increase service and protection to the American people. There should be financial incentives to reward employees for suggestions that either reduce the following year budget or justify increased spending with specific information as to how it will improve Government efficiency.
Then at year end, have a national award presented to the top efficiency performing office in each Federal Agency presented by the President.
