Some of the budget items (some of the 700 billion you talk about, and the vast majority of both Bush's last increase, and Obama's) were short-term stimulus funding that will not be continued (see how the chart goes down after 2010? See the light blue area of the chart that goes away?)

The administration already cut 1 billion. You laughed at that. A billion here, a billion there, it adds up to real money. Not renewing those unfunded tax cuts would make a huge 700 billion dent to start. Getting out of the wars is the next hunk. What's left is a reasonable budget, compared to our historical norms, we can live easily with (and yes, we should always continue budget prudence)
