um, ALL of those need to be cut down severely. yes, even the 1%ers because that's still billions of dollars being wasted
the majority of that are things that could easily be handled at the state level. the same amount of money would go into them but each state would be responsible for it's own transportation, agriculture, education and welfare so that no other state is picking up anyone else's slack
Don't get me wrong; I agree with the idea that we need a smaller government (although in many cases, I prefer federal over state). My point is that there's no way to do it as a politician. Government only gets bigger and stronger through the process of representative democracy when people only have time for soundbites instead of real understanding.
