Great idea I think. I have little faith in the execution of it, but it's finally an idea I like.

Are you honestly saying there isn't much fat to cut from the US Government? You can take a hatchet to the annual budget and never hit anything with actual meat. It's unpopular to point out the pork each Senator/Congressman pours into every bill with earmarks because their committee appointments make it so they can in turn block anything you want.
