the Defense Department "is the only agency in the federal government that cannot adequately account for its assets and its expenditures - and cannot withstand an outside financial statement audit."

Rubbish. No big government agency could withstand the kind of auditing they routinely inflict on private business.

Review and revise tax policy and enforcement programs - including tax expenditures.

For him even to use such a term is proof that he is a statist and socialist. "Tax expenditures" is liberal-speak for what ordinary sensible Americans would call "tax cuts". The assumption is that the government lays claim to 100% of what you produce, and anything they let you keep is an "expenditure."

I agree with his alarmism about deficit spending, but my solution to that problem would not sit well with the statist government-worshipers and dependent teat-suckers.

I'm willing to bet that if the welfare gravy train is sliced dramatically that many of those fedgov titty babies will be forced to find work and a large % of the 'recent arrivals' will 'self deport' themselves and families back to wherever they came from......additionally, if a lot of these employers find that they'll actually have to pay a livable wage even to illegals (because the taxpayers won't be forced to supplement their employee living expenses anymore) that maybe, just maybe they'll hire Americans again.
