Not paying both to blow something up and then to rebuild.
Not staying in other countries like South Korea for 60 YEARS after the war is over.
Not shipping jobs around the world instead of here in the United States, which means the government cannot overly regulate or overly tax those businesses.
Your beloved liberals are the ones mostly responsible over the years for running up that credit card bill. Not entirely, but mostly, especially FDR's "New Deal" and that Lyndon Johnson and his "Great Society" bullshiat.

The things you mention, above, contribute next to nothing to our deficit. Illegals? Seriously? Piddling, tiny percentages within an annual budget.
Clinton left us with a surplus.
What happened then, Joey? A reminder of what composes our deficit, today: unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Part D giveaway, unfunded tax cuts (giving away our income)
If you give away your income, you won't be able to pay your bills.
The largest part of our deficit is George W. giving away our income. Then worrying about cutting spending, when the problem is that you've cut your income markedly, isn't going to get you solvent very quickly.
