As a fiscal conservative, I agree with the sentiment. [Moderators: feel free to cut if I am venturing into dangerous territory].
However, strictly for educational purposes, not political ones: The three biggest spending areas are: Defense (22%), Medicare/Health Care (27%), or Social Security/Pensions (26%).
If we agree that these are untouchable (and the last 2, being mandatory programs, pretty much are) then we are looking at cutting the remaining 28%. There must be cut-worthy programs there, but how much difference would cuts in those programs make to the overall budget? I
don't mean: which programs do you not personally like; but how much difference would it make to the budget deficit, if one or another of them went away?
