Saying things are expensive is not saying they are corrupt or inefficient. What specific problems and examples of corruption do you believe should be fixed?

Similarly, overall spending patterns do not mean corruption or even excess. We get huge economic returns on science and space spending, for instance.

Look at the source you cited. Labor is expensive here and infrastructure projects often create public outrage that makes them take longer. That's a problem but it's not corruption and not something you fix by slashing spending.
