Whatever the biggest expenditure is, cut 20% right now
Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are the biggest expenses. After those it's probably military and interest on the debt.

Also an amazing nugget per the Googler
Interesting breakdown.
quote:
As of September 2023, there were 2.95 million employees in the US federal workforce.
Looking back to the 20th century, between January 1939 and January 1944, the federal workforce more than tripled in size. It reached 3.1 million in 1944 and then declined before increasing again in the 1950s. It continued to grow throughout the 20th century, peaking in 1990 at 3.4 million employees. By 1999, that had contracted to 2.8 million.quote:
Federal offices with the most personnel in 2022 were Defense-Military Programs (772,300), the Department of Veterans Affairs (411,600), and the Department of Homeland Security (202,800). The Federal Trade Commission, National Credit Union Administration, and Civil Defense Programs had the least, with about 1,000 employees each.
Interesting breakdown.
