You do it with the vote when a Senator or Congress person comes up for ReElection. Vote them out of office if their track record shows wastefull spending. Especially ones known as Porkbarrel projects.

the problem with that firewall is that people tend to feel most strongly aggravated by porkbarrel contracts awarded to other states than your own.

Remember, it is only pork when government money is spent in *your* state. When government money is spent in *my* state it is a necessary investment for the people.
