I agree that the federal government taxes and spends way too much. Perhaps we should establish what the original purpose of the central government is in the first place.
Over the years the feds have grown and grown into all walks of life, many of which were originally intended to be handled by the states. The feds main priority should be national defense and after that managing some interstate commerce like highway systems and antitrust enforcement and a very few other things.
Unlike tecoyah's imaginary budget the federal government has grown to include many pokemon type interests. Not that we should overspend on national defense but first we should cut spending in some of the pokemon type departments such as Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, State and International Assistance, Small Business Administration, etc..
