Bring home all troops from Iraq and Afghanistan ASAP, but put 25,000 troops on Mexican border. Eliminate the Departments of Energy and Education. Sell Amtrak and the Post Office. Cut the State Department budget in half. Fire the 500,000 federal employees added since Obama took office. Cut off all funding to UN. Cut off all aid to the so-called “Palestinians”. Cut the EPA budget in half. Cut all federal aid to children of illegal immigrants. Fire half of the TSA’s 52,000 employees. Sell federal land, particularly in the Western U.S. Enact the Fair Tax, which would eliminate the entire federal income tax system and the IRS. Cut all Congressional staff expenses by 50%. Fire all of Obama’s “Czars” and their staffs. Cut off all funding for AIDS in Africa, etc. that Bush pledged. Confiscate the bank accounts of Muslim “charities”, which are subversive.
One could eliminate all discretionary spending with the exception of Defense and we would STILL be running a $400B deficit. That is how big the problem is.
Also eliminate the Department of Interior -— that’s $12 billion saved.
you left out one very big hog.
USDA, never grew a damn thing except it’s budget, just as the DoEd never educated anyone. You could probably fire 50% of the federal work force, and you would never notice the difference.
