We all know that in order to meet the challenges of our day -- to lift up our middle class and hard working families; to establish universal health care, energy independence, and fiscal responsibility; to end the war in Iraq and restore our leadership around the world -- we need a government that will rise to the occasion.
This isn't about big government or small government, it's about smart government. We need a return to transparency and a system of checks and balances, to a president who respects Congress's role of oversight and accountability. We need a 21st century government to meet our 21st century challenges.
Hillary has proposed a comprehensive, 10-point plan to restore Americans' confidence in their government by increasing transparency and cutting waste and corruption. Her plan includes:
· Banning Cabinet officials from lobbying a Hillary Clinton administration.
· Strengthening whistleblower protections.
· Creating a public service academy.
· Ending abuse of no-bid government contracts and posting all contracts online.
· Cutting 500,000 government contractors.
· Restoring the Office of Technology Assessment.
· Publishing budgets for every government agency.
· Implementing Results America Initiative to track government effectiveness.
· Tracking and eliminating corporate welfare.
