What government spending are you okay with being cut?

fraud and abuse for sure. I also want to see a redundant programs eliminated/consolidated. I would imagine many programs could do with a cut or at a minimum reduced budgeting.


Now let's talk the big stuff
Social security- needs guardrails put up to ensure longevity of the program or need an offramp to it. The challenge is most Americans won't plan for retirement regardless but we can at least not steal from ourselves and find better ways to then invest the dollars we no longer steal from here. This should be run like a 401k with thst level of transparency ..

Medicare/medicaid- if we are continuing these programs then we should look to consolidate how govt provides healthcare/health coverage and gain efficiencies. Shrinking/eliminating.

Military- reduce size and scope of our operations. Easily start by slashing budget to what they can pass and audit for.

Other executive alphabet agencies- ATF IRS DEA FBI TSA, us marshalls- all could do with a size reduction. You reduce the ability to enforce and then you automatically reduce its impact to people's lives.
