What would people be willing to give up/cut from the US budget?

The EPA. We already have a way to write laws and enforce them.

cut the fraud out of all government programs.

Department of Education. Schools have only been going down hill since it was established.

PBS/NPR while they may have been a ok idea when they were established they have out lived their usefulness. When established there where 3 TV networks now there are hundreds.

Obama Care a disaster on its way.

Department of Homeland Security, I hate to sound paranoid but it seems more like the Ministry of Love all the time.

And remember few if anyone is talking about real cuts. They are talking about reductions in the amount of increases. If I spend $10 this year and $9 next year that is a cut. If I spend $10 this year and plan to spend $12 next year but only spend $11, only in DC would that be considered a cut.

There is a lot of wasteful spending in government.

Cut all and any help for candidates from all parties for their campaigns. Currently there is provision where candidate can use government money.

Cut all and any government limo services that include government cars, helicopters and airplanes for politicians travel. And all kind of politicians' escort services. They should use their own means of transportation or use public transportation.

Cut all kind of Committee that government creates. Most of them just governors friends and lovers who is sitting on taxpayers dimes and doing nothing (example: Garbage Committee). They also have power to create a laws, but they are not elected by people, and people don't have any saying in these laws. Totally antidemocratic way of making laws. If there are any Committee is needed, they should not have any power to make any law, only suggestion to the government, and their work should be public knowledge. If Committee did not do anything useful for a quarter, remove it.

Cut all welfare programs. Cut unemployment programs to minimum. There is no other country in the world that has welfare program. Cut pension programs to minimum.

Cut education programs. There is may be a place for government schools, but government is not suppose to give everyone higher education. So if state can't afford keep local college, close it. Government should not help anyone to get college degree. This is not government business.

Cut government size. All kind of managerial, and directorate positions, that are not needed and useless (most of them are). Especially if they are not electable by people.

Cut subsidies to minimum.

Cut health programs to minimum.

Cut all foreign aid.

Cut Unions from government system. They should be in private sector, but complete waist in government sector.

Prevent government to vote for their own compensation, that include salary, pension, and heath program. Currently they have that power and abuse it.

Prohibit and outlaw lobbying government by all special interest organizations and Unions.

Prohibit all "pork" programs in any and all bills and laws that government creates.

-sell surplus federal properties

-do not make new hires when a federal worker retires in nonessential positions

-raise retirement to 68

-return to Clinton's welfare reforms

-go back to the amount budgeted before the bailout and stimulus

Foreign Aid- all of it

Welfare- All of it

SS- any that was not a result of contribution(excess entitlement)

ObamaCare

Drug Enforcement(which goes hand in hand with foreign aid. see Andean Counter drug Initiative)

-when those are cut we can start looking at everything else.

How about the hundreds of billions in tax expenditures currently going to big oil and the corporate elite?

We spend three times more on corporate welfare than on social welfare.

It’s time the corporate elite learn to live within their means.

I would be willing to give up the TSA.
