I mean, I’m not really interested in reigning in spending on things like social programs. I do think the military could get slashed by a very large amount, however. Especially considering how much military contractors over-inflate the cost of absolutely everything they sell the US government. Instead, I’d rather we just pay for the stuff we want to do by decreasing the wage gap by a VERY large margin and fixing the business tax code.

Over half the budget is social programs though, they’re just no effective because they’re dolled out to a lot of private businesses.
