Time to throw down the gauntlet. Pick one department and completely defund it. I suggest the Department of Labor would be a good place to start. The 2011 continuing resolution for the department totals $148.5 billion. Assuming half of the budget has already been spent, we can save $70 billion or more by killing the department next year. Other irrelevant departments deserving similar treatment include: Commerce, Agriculture, Education, HUD, Energy, and much of HHS.

The Republicans should be going after spending the same way Obama, Pelosi and Reid went after health care last year. Aim big and damn the torpedos.

Bears repeating...

Dear Republicans...

AIM REALLY BIGGER AND FULL SPEED AHEAD!

At least a 2 trillion$ reduction, then maybe meet them halfway.
