With what?  We are 3 trillion dollars in debt the last time I checked.

I have serious philosophical problems with the government telling ANYONE how
they may spend their own money.  This whole idea of reform assumes that 
government officals are bribable by nature (which may be true), and that the
only solution is to interdict the bribER rather than doing anything to the
bribEE.  Perhaps the elected officals should be held more accountable for
their actions.
