Here's how I would trim down the budget

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the current year’s budget deficit will be a record $1.5 trillion. CBO also says that over the next decade we’re on track for annual deficits of “only” $768 billion. I suspect the CBO has hired Rosy Scenario to do the bookkeeping, but let’s take that number at face value. I’m now going to balance the budget, with the help of some experts.

I’ll begin with things I’m most eager to cut. Let’s privatize air traffic control. Canada did it, and it works better.
