2011 numbers in millions.

Department of Defense-Military 723,703
Department of Health and Human Services 926,236
Interest on Treasury Debt Securities (Gross) 464,706
Social Security Administration 789,034

Comes to 2,903,679

Also do you want to have NO department of veterans affairs? No office of personnel management? No General Services Administration?

We don’t have a 2011 budget yet. They are just going to have to cut it until it fits, or collect more in taxes. I’m just telling you what I think the GOP should do. You can’t cut medicare or social security, and most of that is covered by the trust funds anyway. You can’t cut interest on the federal debt. That leaves everything else. I would not cut the military, since that is the primary purpose of the federal government, but if that’s what you’ve gotta do to make it fit, then do it.
