There are lots of good options, but they aren't likely to do them:
  • Bring the troops home and sell off the foreign bases
  • End all corporate subsidies
  • Smooth out the welfare cliffs
  • End "foreign aid"
  • Relocate federal agencies away from DC (it's the most expensive place in the country)
  • Rescind locality pay for remote eligible workers
  • Cut departments and agencies down to their minimal size
  • Give managers/directors/secretaries bonuses for reducing expenses
  • Sell off or rent out federal lands and properties
That's how the government is, that's how the system is. They know the solution but not the practice.
