I prefer to view cuts as lopping off entire agencies. A warm up would be to ax the Dept of Energy, ATF, most of the FBI, Dept of Ed, DEA, Dept of HLS & NASA. That would give a bit of breathing room for a good house cleaning of the many smaller (and useless) agencies that ride under the radar. Oh, Dept of Health/Human Servs. (aka welfare for those unwilling to work) would get axed entirely.
no arguments, but Id’ keep NASA. a mars landing would be a real shot in the arm for our national prestige, and it will result development of new, better technology in a whole lot of areas.
