Many of you watched the final presidential debate on Wednesday night, and the candidates were asked, “What would you cut from the federal budget”.  If the answers given were unsatisfactory to you, the National Taxpayer’s Union (NTU) and Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), have teamed up to provide lists that show exactly where the waste is, and what needs to be cut. 

Don’t take my word for it, CAGW for instance lists 701 areas that can either be cut or dramatically reduced, totaling $1.9 trillion over five years.
