Balance The Budget?

Here's what I would do:

Eliminate all foreign aid, fire all czars and their staffs.   Maybe Mrs. Obama could survive without 125 assistants?  Eliminate the Dept. of Energy, which produces no energy, but stands in the way of those can.  Get rid of the Dept. of Education, which educates no one, and stands in the way of those who can.  Get rid of the Dept. of Commerce, which sells nothing, but interferes with those who do.  Get rid of the Dept. of Agriculture, which grows nothing, but irritates and interferes with those who do, and subsidizes and upsets market pricing.  Get rid of the Dept. of Labor, which does no labor, but destroys the free labor market, and interferes with productive labor for profit.  Get rid of many other entrenched bureaucracies.  (this is a column, not a book!)  The savings would be a trillion a year or so, just in government savings, and would free up a trillion in the private sector for not having to deal with the bureaucratic weasels. How to do it?

Don has some ideas for reducing government and balancing the budget.
