Lots of places to cut spending.........LOTS.

* First look at every single program and spend a few hundred million dollars doing a complete, and THOROUGH audit.
* Use this audit data to completely and thoroughly eliminate fraud and abuse.

Once you've done that, you will eliminate about 1/5 of all gubment expenditures without cutting a single program.

Next...

* Eliminate all corporate tax breaks.........EXCEPT for those that create jobs in the United States.
* Offer a 1 time repatriation opportunity to bring money back to the United States.......TAX FREE.
* Install a FLAT corporate tax........FLAT. 15% for everyone, or 10% for Corporations that hire veterans.

I think we could do the above and leave most of ObamaCare in place. I don't know the number, bur I suspect repatriating a few trillion dollars, and a FLAT tax will get stuff cranking here. I also think that by doing a thorough audit of every gubment institution, we will save 500 billion or so a year......don't believe it, just look a the WASTE in gubment spending in IRAQ and Afghanistan.
