Just tossing a few around.

• The National Hat: For all non-defense spending projects, a collection hat/basket needs to be passed around. Congress wants to spend $600 million on a mile-long heritage trail in Alabama? Release the hat! After it’s made its way around the country and returns near-empty…message sent.
• Cost-Saving Measures for Congressional Travel: All members of Congress will henceforth be flying on the outside of the plane when returning home to their districts. Severely-reduced ticket prices, due to the fact that Nancy Pelosi has to grip onto the wing of the Boeing 737 during her trip back to SanFran, will save quite a bit of money for the American taxpayer.
• Death Row Execution Savings: The process of humanely putting to death individuals convicted of capital crimes by lethal injection is far too expensive. Is the solution to stop the executions? Hell no. That would mean we’d have to sustain these assholes for the rest of their unfortunate existences as they consume our air. Instead, death row inmates will be quickly executed following sentencing by firing squad. Except only one bullet will be used, and his/her estate will be billed.
• Raising Money Through Public Predator Strikes: As I’m sure you’re aware, Predator drone flights are man-less operations run from a joystick in a control center. But we’re wasting far too much money by having salaried professionals pushing the button to launch the missile. To fix this problem, members of the public should be able to purchase the opportunity to push the button that launches the missile to kill the terrorists. I’m thinking $50/chance will do the trick.
• Monthly Presidential Dunk Tank: Tired of the president’s ridiculous deficit spending? Think he sold you out by not being liberal enough on environmental policy? Here’s your chance to get even: Once a month the president will sit in the presidential dunk tank, as members of the public pay for the ability to drop him into the water. I think $150 is a reasonable entrance fee.
• State Dinners on the Cheap: Chinese President Hu Jintao is coming over for dinner? Call up Subway! As its gimmicky theme song suggests, the sandwich shop has $5 foot-longs and even accepts orders online. Hu can choose from a wide array of cold cuts, sandwich breads, and condiments to create a sandwich that suits his fancy. If he’s really good during the stay, the president will be authorized to purchase one (1) bag of Frito Lay’s potato chips as a treat.
• Presidential Birthdays: No more lavish celebrations with custom-designed treats. No more than five (5) balloons will be purchased from Party City, while the birthday boy will receive a cupcake with his name in icing. If the deficit has been kept under $500 billion during the current fiscal year, the White House will be authorized to provide a Fudgie the Whale cake from Carvel.
• Destroy Your Representative’s Hairdo: Congress is really gonna have to take a hit under these new measures. Just as the president will be soaked in order to raise money for the national treasury, members of Congress must sit down for a semi-annual haircut. One constituent, determined through an independent auction, will be permitted to give his or her representative any hair cut he or she chooses.
• The Secret Service Scale-Down: The days of hundreds of heavily-armed agents with advanced weaponry and sturdy vehicles are over. The president will be driven around in a Ford Pinto and protected by Earl, the elderly security guard from The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City mall in beautiful Washington. To ensure his protection, the windows will be taped over with one (1) roll of 3M Scotch tape.

I’m still working on the list. Hey, this money-raising thing is hard.
