ONLY a half-trillion in cuts? Yeah, we can do that.

How, when Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are off the table? Where to the $500 billion in cuts come from?

Possible cuts (some complete, some a small percentage across-the-category):

Corporate welfare: $100B.
Agricultural welfare: $25B.
Sanctuary cities payments: $25B.
Foreign aid: $25B.
“Other” welfare: $100B.
Military (focus on foreign “subsidy”): $100B.
“Other” spending: $125B.

There. A $half-trillion in cuts. Dig around at http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/year2017_0.html to make your own list.
