Ace...all I see are more generalities and misconceptions from you and dogzilla.
Eliminate waste (where, when nearly 2/3 of the budget are entitlements, interest on debt and defense - absolutely cut defense, but conservatives wont touch it)...social safety net programs create a cycle of dependency (despite the fact that most recipients are relatively short-timers), eliminate programs that are power grabs from the states (despite the fact that most high dollar programs are classic federalism, with the feds setting minimum regs and states implementing with their own more specific regs)
I would also add that there is a growing consensus of economists who are of the opinion that the combination of federal policies/actions (TARP bank bailout, stimulus, Fed Reserve policies) prevented a further recession/depression and turned the economy around.
