Here's a few small steps to cutting the budget and bringing some income to the US:

- End the war on drugs. It's a failed policy that has only made things worse. It's a failed policy that has cost this country nearly $1 trillion dollars since the Nixon Administration enated it.

- Legalize marjiuana and regulate it like alcohol. Also, legalize prostitution. It may be immoral to some people, but like drugs, it won't go away does more harm being illegal than legal.

- Stop giving money to countries who don't like the US. Buying friendship is a failed policy. Who certain politicians of other countries may like the the US, the people do not. 

- Get out of Afghanistand assoon as possible. There's nothing more we can do for them. If they can't back on their feet at this point, then there is no hope for them.

- Reduce the military presence in Europe. The Cold War has been over for more than 20 years. Russia will not invade Europe. They have enough of their own problems to deal with. They may act like bullies, but they aren't the same threat they once were. If Euope feels differently, then let them build up their own military to assure their defences.

- Reduce the military presence in Asia. Some say China is becoming a threat to countries like Japan and South Korea. If that's true, then let Japan and South Korea defend themselves. 

 

 

I'd agree with all of those.  Though i'd add... 

- Stop giving money to most friendly nations.   They don't really need it.  (Sorry Israel, Western Europe, Japan, South Korea.)
