Now Can We Talk Waste Cuts?

Now that a huge emergency spending economic stimulus has been signed by President Obama, can we next start looking at ways of saving wasteful expenditure of our tax dollars?
 
Let's skip the subpoenas for corporate executives, sports figures, and former administration officials where Representatives and Senators take shots at them, as if they are shooting fish in a barrel.  I understand the Populist thing.  But how about popular legislation and popular examination of government programs to uncover unpopular waste.  This would support popular and proper spending to stimulate the economy. 
 
Surely our legislators have time for more than "show" trials, press conferences and crisis.
