Don't know and I'm too busy to research it.
Let's put it this way: Infrastructure and the Military are absolutely essential. After these two "little" items, nearly everything else can be cut or eliminated altogether.
And I would love to see the Federal Government get out schools. ALL SCHOOLS! Schools should be left strictly to the purview of the states. Just this item alone would drastically reduce government spending.
The only real reason the federal government has its evil tentacles on and into the public the system is to use local governments to fill the young skulls full of political mush. And if locals don't cooperate and be used as federal propaganda tools, the government threatens to withhold funding from them.
The federal government also needs to get out the student loan business. All student lending should be turned over to the banks in the private sector.
The list could go on and on.... There's an awful lot of spending that is done pure for political reasons. This kind of spending needs to be drastically reduced or eliminated altogether.
