"...only 38 percent could name a program they would support cutting..."

The other 62% are too stupid.

.

Eliminate these:

Environmental Protection Agency

Department of Education - October 17, 1976 - Carter Administration

Department of Energy - August 4, 1977 - Carter Administration

Department of Health and Human Services

Department of Housing and Urban Development

Department of the Treasury

Department of Labor

Department of the Interior

Department of Agriculture

Department of Commerce

Independent agencies - all 50 of them

People are pissing and moaning about States' Rights and sovereignty. Well, let the states deal with all this crap themselves. Get the Feds out of our lives.

If I were John Boehner, at the end of 30 days with all my bills before Congress, I'd be referred to as "Boehner the Butcher," and I'd be damn proud.

Pretty much any Progressive inspired idea,program etc...

Start with those and the country would be profitable day 1.

The budget problem is NOT government agencies!
Even though many are useless and should go.
The problem the exponential explosive growth of entitlement programs.
Look at a pie chart of the federal budget, the actual operating costs of the government is clearly not the lion's share of the budget, its all the entitlements!
I wish every time a GOP would get on TV they would whip out that pie chart and say soon very soon the federal expenditures will be all entitlements!
