Hmm, how about pulling back some of our military deployments around the globe? We could start with the 65000+ troops still stationed in Germany alone despite the cold war being dead for well over a decade. We could end the completely retarded and ineffective War On Drugs. We could change the federal budgetary & procurement systems to use methods that don't encourage rampant and wanton waste of money. Come on man, there's all kinds of restructuring the federal government could do without cutting some poor little kids after school program, and you know it.

But, that's fantasy land because no legislator will ever have enough balls to do it... all they're ever concerned with is carving out enough pork in the federal budget for their home district to keep getting elected.
