Line Item Veto.
Or, barring that, a unilateral cut of equal percentages across the board. This could be adjusted quarterly if needed.
Either would do the job. The first option squarely places the POTUS in the hot seat. The second may be more fair but it places the crosshairs on the Congress.

Line Item Veto -- unconstitutional.
Nope... just stop the unnecessary war and get rid of things like Bridges to Nowhere and then we'll talk about across the board cuts to programs I think matter.
Then end corporate welfare, tax breaks for outsourcing and get rid of the tax cut for the richest 1%. I think we'll have it all covered. And perhaps the illegal wiretap budget needs to be cut. I hear they haven't paid their bills for that, anyway.
