Despite the massive federal debt and annual deficits that increase the debt every year, the politicians in Washington continue their out-of-control spending practices. EndingSpending.com exists because the federal budget process is broken; it is now up to taxpayers across America to demand solutions. While working to make sense of the United States federal budget and end wasteful government spending, we will expose those elected officials who say one thing and do another.
