What incentive do our congresspersons have to spend less?
None really.
They are funded by petitioners seeking business and considerations in the laws from the government, and then we voters reward these tools with relection regardless of how much they spend, just so long as they keep bringing pork to our locales.
You want to get them to work toward spending less? First of all stop voting based on social issues. They have nothing to do with why America is going broke (or everything, since those are what drive elections)
Make their salaries inversely proportional to how much money each congress spends.
That and COMPLETELY CHANGE THE WAY POLS FINANCE CAMPAIGNS!
