    What-- if anything -- would you like to see cut from federal budget? What -- if anything -- must not be cut? What should be added?

        @SharylAttkisson Everything should be cut to some degree. Nothing is sacred when you're spending $1T more than you take in every year.

        @SharylAttkisson Cut baseline budgeting. Go back to 2008 budget figures, which would cut metastasizing govt. growth. #CutbackCapEPA

        @SharylAttkisson I’m extremely conservative but even DoD can take 10-20% cut. They’d be better off for it; would force addressing waste.

        @SharylAttkisson EPA, FDA, Interior all larger than needed anymore. Could probably be cut in half.
