Cut drug war bull-shit funding.

Raise taxes on rich. 50% should do.

Cut defense budget for useless things, but not for soldier benefits or domestic aid necessities.

Do not go to war unless needed to actually protect domestic safety.

Take away laws claiming corporation to have all rights of American citizens.

Increase funding for education and intellectual advancement.

Legalize and tax all drugs.

Cut funding for useless programs, like women's rights activism programs.

-Das ist a short list, I'm sure a lot of you have great ideas too.

Budget cuts...In Turkey?
Or in America?
For my own country, I probably would not be able to cut anything. But I would try to stop corruption, since that accounts for the major losses in our economy today, and probably levy some more taxes, since I'd have to levy some more if I want to keep the current welfare system alive.
Free healthcare and free education were somewhat guaranteed back in the days, but the new "welfare" system that exists now is somewhat weird, as it does drain resources at a high rate, and the government is privatizing our national property more and more, and often sells it to foreign bidders.
I probably would take on debt to buy these back, no, budget cuts is not what we need, we need more money to spend.

Sounds like a shitty situation. Is everyone being sold up the river by their governments these days?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Cut everything. Pocket it. Leave national debt. Live in Switzerland Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

You haven't been to Switzerland, have you? Smile
I have, it's boring and the people really are dull, but on the plus side, it's fucking beautiful.
