i can name four things right now off the top of my head that granted are drops in the fiscal bucket, but if we stopped them RIGHT NOW would help and i think cover the "Debt Interest Payment"
1. End the "Quatitative Easing" the government is buying stock to float the stock market and keep the market up. I've already taken a bath in the market when GM declared bankruptcy and the government bailed them out.
2. REA-The Rural Electric Association was founded during Roosevelts New Deal and is now effectively useless and a money sink
3. Foreign Aid- As someone else stated earlier, its a drop in the bucket, but its a large drop all that money in the government would help if it wasnt spent buying the appreciation of other nations. Face it, its bribes so that they will listen to us when half of them dont anyway.
4. Make the damn equipment producers accept the payment they bid. The government, especially the Five sided puzzle palace (you know it as the Pentagon) is really bad about when there is a "Cost Overrun" they just throw money at the problem until its "Solved" and doesnt worry about the accounting. I can't pull the bid for the F-35 JSF right now but the cost over runs on it are enormous, has been for every piece of military equipment designed and made in the last 60 years or more. What i can note is that the Obamacare website that was supposed to cost 93 million dollars to setup and it run, has cost over 600million and still cant handle the traffic. Thats over 500 million dollars that the government has just thrown away. MAKE THEM STICK TO THEIR BIDS
