#5 What exactly DOES the Constitution SAY? About what the US Govt is precisely empowered to do?

Provide for the Military.
Build Roads.
What else?

Look into that, get a platoon to back you up and park the Tanks on the lawn. Cut Congress' pay and give them each about what the Lieutenant makes a year.

Get Alexander Haig and the men at the Pentagon to move into base housing at Fort Sill. They can take turns doing KP for one another. Send Nancy down to the Marine barracks and give her a broom. Offer to pinch her ( somewhere ) so she will wake up.

#7 I still see lots of stuff that can be cut. DOE, Department of Education, IRS, NSA, etc.

#8 Zero out the conference travel budget at the IRS,EPA, DEA, DHS, and most other three letter agencies. I realize that will only save a few million, but it's a start.

Eliminate Congressional pensions and healthcare after they leave office.

See, Nancy, there are lots of places to save money.

#10 If everything she can imagine cutting has been cut, then she needs to step aside and be replaced with someone who can think of more things.

Actually, we should just stop funding everything and have a national debate about which expenses merit restarting.

#11 Utterly destroy the EPA, and salt the earth it's offices sat on, would be a good start - and would stimulate businesses like never before.

#14 How about cutting everything not explicitly authorized by the constitution?

you know... actually enforce the 10th Amendment.

And stop the molestation of the Commerce Clause. Jeeze!
