I focused on SS/Medicare by raising the age limits to 70, eliminated foreign aid, farm subsidies and similar B.S., cut the federal workforce and programs and reduced foreign military expenditures. I didn't raise a single tax - I closed the tax loopholes and lowered overall tax rates, and eliminated the mortgage interest deduction for high-income households.

Easy peasy - although this is WAY oversimplistic.

As sammy says, other than SS/Medicaid I'd think there are other areas that could be scaled back or eliminated (unless these are included under the broadly-worded categories provided and it's just not clear).

One thing is absolutely clear - we need to eliminate or severely curtail SS/Medicare/Medicaid/Obamacare or we're screwed and will have no choice but to print gajillions of dollars.
