You can't start playing the "there are better things to spend money on" game.
How can they spend money on coffee for federal employees when children are starving?
How can they spend money on a new laptop for a bureaucrat when a citizen is going into foreclosure?
How can they spend money to replace signs at a passport office that are still legible when bank employees are losing their jobs.
There will ALWAYS be "something better to spend their money on." Things can't be prioritized like that. Though it would make passing a budget much easier. "What's the single most important thing in the world to spend money on. We vote that the entire budget goes to that because we don't want to spend money on anything else while there's something more important to spend it on."
