Republican Whip Eric Cantor has launched "YouCut" - a public voting process on the net and thru texting that will enable the Public to speak on what should be targetted as wasteful spending.

While it is not what it should be yet - you get 5 offerings and their expected savings - you can only vote for one. Alot of comments go toward "Why can't we vote for all 5?", but its a start. Every week, the Republican leadership will put forth the matter for an up or down vote in Congress, though you can expect that such a vote will never come. Still, pushing everything into administrative limbo and subcommittees is a dangerous action for a democratic led congress that already is facing significant ire from the American public, especially approaching an election.

Edit - looks successful - been up about 48 hours and already has over 150k votes.
