I was talking with my wife last night about the transition to a more libertarian society. And the question came up.
I am curious as to what agency's / programs / jobs etc. Could be immediately cut without serious harm. I am not interested in "LDO ! wipe em all out" type answers. I am asking for real world answers about how we can get government under control.

Good question, and doubtless the answer is complex.
A simple factoid, though:
* Year 2000 Federal Budget = $1.8 trillion
* Year 2007 Federal Budget = $2.8 trillion
Wiki Federal Budget United States
Perhaps this is food for thought?
