#1 Start with the IRS. When there's nothing left to cut, move on to the State Department.

#2 Any form of government will work---if authority matches accountability. Bring back the spoils system!

#3 Out come the barricades at parks. I understand if the National Park budget is cut, they'll need to fill in the Grand Canyon...

#4 Dept of Energy (mission accomplished, we're afloat in domestic oil) and Dept of (Mis)Education can be reduced to building security and maintenance staffs.

#5 No Dept of Edu still has a mission. Strangely enough, there are children coming out of school who know how to read. Double plus ungood.

#7 My vote is to cut back the EPA. Mission accomplished. In fact mission exceeded. Cut it back to the regs in place 20 years or so ago.

#8 The 2014 Federal budget was $3.02 trillion. A $194 billion cut is a piss in the ocean.

#10 That's a rounding error. How about we cut 2% across the board (defense excluded) until the budget is balanced? That ought to be tame enough for even the most milquetoast RINO suck puppets to whimper along with.

#11 Do away with EBT cards and ObamaCare for illegal aliens. Hell, just plain do away with EBT cards and ObamaCare.

#12 At the same time, do away with Donks and their policies. We ought to be on our way to a balanced budget.
