Cut the military except for the Navy. There’s a lot of fat there.
Eliminate base line budgeting, freeze federal hiring and reduce all federal departments by 10 percent per year until we have a surplus on the federal books. Why not eliminate agencies that have no purpose beyond their existence. The Legal Services Corporation sued Congress for threatening to terminate funding and WON! Midnight basketball, and a plethora of other agencies need to be abolished.
The American monetary system is worthless and eventually will fail. These people really think we’re going to repay a 30 trillion fiat money debt? STOP THE SPENDING!!!!
Put the college lending back in the hands of the banks. We had no business making this a government lending project.
Take a copy of Article 1 Section 8. Take a copy of the list of Federal Agencies.
Where list B doesn’t expressly match list A... Cut it from the buget completely.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Zero based budgeting, with line item veto for the President.
Take all spending to the states and all social spending within the states, and give the total in one lump sum to the states with no strings attached. Then reduce that amount by 10% each year for the next ten years. If the states want to continue that spending let them do it on their own dime. Return the federal government to the limited responsibilities listed in the enumeration of powers in Article I of the Constitution, eliminating all regulations that do not flow directly from them. Then close all those departments and agencies that have nothing to do. Also, if a trade or service does not actually cross state lines then it is not interstate trade is outside of all federal jurisdiction and regulations.
They can eliminate the IRS by repealing the 16th Amendment and replacing it with the Fair Tax.
here’s a concept, 10% cut across the board on discretionary spending
Three things:
1. 10% cut in personnel, across the board from the top down, including generals and admirals.
2. Wage freeze for everybody, except military
3. Hiring freeze, except military
And they can take all those guns and ammo that various departments bought and give them to the military.

Tax private foundations and require them to cease operation 20 years after being established. When foundations sunset, the remaining unspent funds go to the US Treasury, not other foundations.

Immediately end authorization for unspent Covid emergency funds.
Privatize the federal flood insurance program.

Return to budget discipline in Congress by requiring appropriations for new spending, or spending increases for existing programs, to be offset by specific cuts in other spending and or tax increases.
We shouldn’t be cutting anything right now. After they(democrats and rinos) have spent an extra 1-2 trillion every 6 months since covid farce began now they want republicans to get the bad press for throwing grandma over the cliff? No spending cuts to existing programs! Just block any new spending bills.
