Government Cuts

1st Amtrak: Most don't know that Amtrak is government owned and the taxpayer has been paying the price. They have not been self sufficient since the begining and have been bailed out many times. 2009 Budget 1.3 Billion.

2nd NASA: What are we really getting from NASA as a citizen of this country. Private space flight is on the way and NASA seems like a logical candidate for closure to ease the burdon on tax payers. 2009 Budget 17.6 Billion

3rd United States Botanic Garden: Growing plants for the beautification of the capital. Exhibits, and educational programs promoting botanical knowledge. 2009 Budget 10 Million plus 33.5 million in renovations that were recently completed.

4th Department of Education: Lets face it the budget goes up every year and our kids get even dumber. Time to put Education back in the individual states hands like the 10th Amendment requests. 2009 Budget request 59.2 Billion.

5th The National Endowment for the Arts: Previous artist have used grants from the orginization for crazy $hit. Karen Finley, a stage actress, used an NEA grant to produce a play in which she poured chocolate syrup over her own nude body. 2009 Budget request 128.4 Million

6th Deportation of Illigal immigrants: illigal Immigrants are bleeding this country and many states dry. Estmates put the cost between 22 and 70 billion in federal funding paying for illigal immigrants. California alone pays 10 Billion a year. It's time for this country to take a hard stand against illigal immigration and start rounding them up and shipping them back.
Federal tax dollars are given to immigration groups by way of grants that are then spent on rallies basically promoting illigal immigration.

I would start with these.
