I think we should cut out welfare except for those unable to work due to a disability, mentally retarded, say less than about 65 IQ, and elderly. Cut our child welfare for over two kids and pay to have the mothers fixed. Also, if you get any government aid, must pass a manditory drug test, at least quarterly. Cut out foreign aid. Eliminate all income taxes, and tax imports, and have a national sales tax on all purchases. Cut out money for the "arts".
Cut out social security for all under 40, make them pay into IRA's or 401(k)'s. Set this up like life insurance for the first few years for early death or disability, then it switches to an IRA later.
Get the government out of the health care business. Allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. Limit lawsuits. Require people to buy at least a hospitalization insurance minimum.
This should make the Feds more streamlined and less intrusive. Go back to commodities instead of food stamps.
Have a picture ID required for voting. Must be current, and must match your address on your voting record. In Alabama, you can get a non drivers ID at the Drivers License office. Have voting records purged nationwide every 10 years to match the census. Must reapply to vote every 10 years, or at least every time you renew your drivers liscense.
Call out the national guard nationwide and round up the illegals, put them on busses, trains, etc, back to where they come from. To be positive, add more personnel to the immigration department at the borders, to help with legal immigration. Make it nationwide manditory that no illegals can vote, and no non-citizens can vote. Must pass a high school equivelent citizenship test before you can register to vote for all including natrual born Americans.
