I'd start with a 10% across the board budget cut for the entire 
government except the DoD.  Next I'd kill off the Department of 
Education and Department of Interior.  Their budgets and power would be 
returned to the states, where it belongs.  The TSA would return to being 
private, except for an oversight function.  The next year I would cut 
the budgets another 10%, except for the DoD, which would remain flat.  
I'd continue slimnming down the federal government until the federal 
budget was less than 10% of GDP, with a long term goal of closer to 6-8% 
.  Other cabinet level departments would be dismantled and returned to 
the states or other federal government agencies.  The goal for federal 
employees would be less than .5% of the total population (not counting 
military personnel).
