The Spending Reduction Act Bill has some ideas to cut
2.5 Trillion in 10 years.

Immediate cuts, $125 Billion cut back spending to 2008 levels and repeal
remaining Obama stimulus package

Fiscal year starting Oct. 1st. cut non defense discretionary spending to 2006
levels and freeze till 2021. This will save taxpayers $2.3 Trillion, attrition will
trim 15% of the civilian Federal work force and no automatic raises for the first
5 years.

Target more than 100 separate budget items, including duplicated
programs ,saving $1.3 billion annually, and decrease Federal travel budget
by %50 saving $7.5 billion annually.

End Freddie and Fannie, saving $376 billion in 10 years.

There were a few others, but sounds like some good areas to start cutting.
