Cut off funding to nations across the planet, we cannot afford it right now.
Get rid of waste in the DOD, companies such as Haliburtion are sucking this nation dry.
Stop giving oil complaines Millions to seek for oil, it is their business to find it so that they can sell it.
Reform welfare, get those that are abusing it off the money tit.
Review the entire federal budget, line item at a time and find the waste and remove it, some agencies have several departments doing the same job, streamline the system.
Stop the war on drugs, we lost long ago, it would be cheaper to build more rehabs that what we spend on enforcement and prisions.
Get rid of the IRS and go to a Flat or Consumption Tax, we save Billions on the IRS and more revenue would actually end up being available.
Get OUT of Iraq NOW and get out of Afganistan as soon as possible.

We have treaties going back to the cold war we can't wiggle out of or I would agree with you 100%.

Fire them for all I care, but there are only three companies in the world that do what they do and they are the American one. By the by Clinton used them as much if not more so than Bush.

If they do that, I agree, stop and let them drill now in America where we already know gas, oil and coal are.

I agree, make it only available past 6 months for major disabilities.

Love this one, remove older stupid laws, remove redundant operations and review purchases. (EXCELLENT IMO)

Very crazy libertarian like to me here. Like spending is the problem, we have drugs as a problem. I think we confiscate the personal wealth of both the users and dealers. We put all of them in a tent jail with no TV and so forth and we monitor them after to see where they work and if they work rather than become drugged out losers on our dole.
Get rid of the IRS and go to a Flat or Consumption Tax, we save Billions on the IRS and more revenue would actually end up being available.
Very libertarian of you, I would personally suggest a two tier flat tax on income for everybody or as you say a consumption tax (not on food though).
Get OUT of Iraq NOW and get out of Afganistan as soon as possible.
We need to finish the mission and not give an exit date, because all they will do is wait till we are gone then start up bigger.
There are a few for starters. Thoughts?
Casper
A nice big F'ing Balanced Budget Amendment so the politicians can't keep spending us into poverty getting reelected. What do you think of that?
We also need to make government employess far more rare because those are paid by us as well. I don't care if one party wants to make employees that vote for one party, the issue is they are doing so on our backs, right?
You make EVERYONE pay the same percentage, and make that percentage enough to cover the yearly expenses of the federal government, and watch the half of society that pays nothing stop asking for more..
Except for the fact that going to a flat tax or a consumption tax, wouldnt abolish the IRS, you are correct, at least Casper tried with a serious response.
I dont agree with numerous ones on his list, such as removing the DOD, simply because Haliburton isnt sucking the nation dry, but I can respect his position..
Agreed , I agree with ridding waste every where that is a no brainer....the haliburton quip is a throw away.
You make EVERYONE pay the same percentage, and make that percentage enough to cover the yearly expenses of the federal government, and watch the half of society that pays nothing stop asking for more..
Also require a balanced budget amendment so they can't borrow.
Sorry you just lost all credibility.......this thread is about SPENDING CUTS!!
The correct way to phrase that would be: End tax cuts for the rich.
