15% across the board budget cuts...most departments won't even feel it
Dept of Defense: all spending in South Korea...they don't want us there anyway...removal of bases from Europe. European countries need to raise their level of defense spending as we lower ours. We're currently subsidizing their defense.
Eliminate Dept of Education: $68 billion
Federal Crop subsidies: $10 billion
Stop rebuilding of New Orleans and any sea-coast areas : $127 billion
Even Republicans figured out cutting the Departmet of Education is a horrible idea.

Why not re-build New Orleans? Because it has hurricanes. Well California has earthquakes. There's tornados in the middle of the country. Pretty much everywhere in the world has some form of natural disasters.

As for 15 percent budget cuts, can you point to actual programs that you want to get rid of , or does it just sound like a good number.
