That's not enough. Sure, you've eliminated a hundred billion or two from our budget. You need to tackle the big ones. Entitlement programs. Defense. All must be cut.

Regarding Defense, do we really need 11 aircraft carriers? We would still be fine with just 6. We would have 4 in action at all times, with 1 in shop with 1 in rest.

I realize that, but its a big mess that would have to be gone through item after item and there would need to be real cuts all over the place.
