We do need a review of existing services and decide which ones are really necessary. It's about time to start cutting services. How many billions could be saved if we did some cutting of the unnecessary. We could start with Foreign aid, which is just a drop in the bucket, even though it is in the billions. Wouldn't it be nice/interesting if we could have a popular vote on spending? Bet there would be some interesting cuts to spending.
