Here is a fun fact.....
If you fired all government employees, not just wasteful or redundant ones but all of them (not counting active military) eliminating every department you would save about 4.6% the federal budget.
If you then also fired all the active military, so there was no one at all left directly in government and no one protecting our country you would save an additional 3% for a total of 7.6%.
We would still be deficit spending. Its hard to cut spending when so much of it is things like interest on the debt.
The source for this is just internet google searches on the federal budget.
