I think we found where the cuts should be made!
Since > 1/2 of the US Senate are now Millionaires, why not cut out all of their salaries AND benefits until The US National Debt has decreased, year to year, for two years in a row?
Then give them a 10 % allowance to be paid back if the next two years are higher than the previous two years.
