In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, former House majority leader Dick Armey combines with his FreedomWorks partner Matt Kibbe to suggest “What Congress Should Cut” in order to reduce the deficit and debt.

The piece has many strengths. In particular, Armey has long been a student of the domestic discretionary portions of the federal budget – that is, domestic programs which require annual congressional appropriations. Thus, he’s able to rattle off an impressive list of departments and programs that merit the budget-cutting axe. And he and Kibbe recognize the expertise that Rep. Paul Ryan, of Roadmap for America’s Future fame and who as chairman of the House Budget Committee will write the most politically significant piece of legislation this year, possesses on the need and ways in which to rein in the growth of entitlement programs.
