Down voted, imagine that. Predictable as sunrise. So what should be cut?

Trump's ballroom.

Trump's "irs lawsuit settlement fund"

The salaries of all the lawyers being paid to justify illegal and discriminatory executive orders.

ICE's budget.

TSA's budget.

"Border Wall" construction costs.

Should I go on?

Most of those things a tiny rounding error. Interest and social services are the only thing the government actually spends money on.

		You left out military spending. It's kind of a big one.

I agree with all of that but you don't put a dent in spending outside of tackling ICE budget. TSA is more neutral since a lot of funding from that comes from airline ticket fees.

There is only 5 items that matter:

Interest on Debt.

Social Security

Medicare.

Medicaid.

Defense.
