Sounds like an excellent start - do more and get rid of the liberal Democrats and Obama.

What about defunding:
The Zsars
Dept. of Education
Department of Energy
Dept. of Housing & Urban Development
NPR?

I would be willing to bet that there is 10 times this much more that could be cut.

R McGill of GA 12:51PM January 20, 2011

Get R Done!!!! This is awesome! Get rid of the EPA, NPR Funding, ACLU and the Energy Department too.

Bill of TN 12:51PM January 20, 2011

Amen. Do all of it and then that will be a nice starting point to start really exfoliating the dead weight.

Keith of VA 12:51PM January 20, 2011

Thank you Tea Party for opening the eyes of the Republicans so our Country might survive the Socialist in the Administration.

........before it's too late and it really doesn't matter anymore.

Part of the solution to cuts is to let the states take more responsibility for their own budget and get so many all-encompassing initiatives out of the federal budget.
It's also important that conservatives fearlessly articulate why they're cutting what they are so they're not continually open to how heartless they are.
Much of this is well-presented in Gut Feeling. It's a book that explains who conservatives believe what they do.
Check out excerpts at gutfeelingbook [dot] com. It's time we started understanding each other a bit more.

This is the greatest compilation of budget cuts I've seen in my lifetime-75 yrs.

James D Vaughn of TX 12:51PM January 20, 2011

This is a great start, but there are plenty more programs that should go too.
