Go through the budget with a fine-toothed comb and a scalpel. Anything not specifically authorized by the Constitution gets cut and left to the States or People.
Congressional salaries cut to the national average. Likewise the President's salary and that of any person being paid from the Treasury.
Totally de-fund all unConstitutional or redundant agencies.
That'll do for a start.

A libertarian shopping list.
IIRC, Ron Paul, the only libertarian running in 2008, got 14 delegates to McCain's 1,378. As much as I'd prefer libertarians as my respected political adversaries, do we really think this rather large tea party movement is libertarian? It's conservative, sure, but modern conservatism isn't libertarianism. They seem to be taking ques from neoconservative idiots like BillO and Rush and Hannity, the defacto Republican party leaders. None of those men are libertarian by any stretch.
