I just hope they can figure it out quickly so we can get back to finding waste...

They probably can't.

Just look at the federal budget (both income and out-go). Finding "waste" is going to amount to a rounding error.

I might be able to get behind an effort to root-out waste if we address the larger budget problem first. This is a distraction from the real problem, because no one wants to deal with the real problem (because ALL of the solutions will be unpopular). They're yelling "squirrel!".

...and poor decision making.

Like what? Sure, people make bad decisions all the time. I suspect a lot of decisions just wouldn't align with one political view or the other, but aren't inherently "bad". Also, most decisions will be dictated by policy and guidelines, set down by law(s) passed by Congress.
