Everywhere. Cut till it hurts. The best first step would be to freeze all budget growth. No automatic budget increases. No automatic adjustments for inflation. All budgets are fixed from now on for the next 25 years. Each department will figure out their own way to meet their budgets.

I would propose abolishing the federal department of education entirely.

No more college pell grants. Drastic cuts in student loans.

No more disaster relief. That’s what insurance companies are for.
Medicaid gets axed completely.
Crack down on SS benefits awarded for fraudulent disabilities. SS should be for senior citizens only.
All the assistance programs to young single mothers should be axed immediately.
All federal money to planned parenthood should be axed immediately.
All federal money to after school programs should be axed immediately.

I could go on. But the most important thing would be to freeze all budgets.

Even the military?

p.s.

a lot of the programs you mentioned will be picked up by the states. And guess what? State taxes go up.

Outstanding and I agree.

In addition, outside of national security issues, no more closed door meetings or hearings. That goes for Congress and the Senate too.

Cut, slash and eliminate all government programs, the number of government employees, at all levels outside the military.

This needs to be demanded by all.

I'd support all of that. You'll find little support for those kind of cuts amongst the supports of the nanny state though.
