I have always been specific
Can't, the extra spending is to cover the cost of Biden inflation
I hope you are being serious because I agree
I would need to know what the US government specifically spends it's money on. So for example, in the link it says 13% on education, what's the breakdown on that, or on any of them? Does the spending include the cost of sandwiches at meetings? I would scrap that cost.
The voters would not approve of that. On the other hand, for years public opinion surveys have indicated popular support for higher taxes on rich people.

Democratic Socialism and Socialism Are Increasingly Salient Among Democrats
By David Guirgis and Kirby Phares
Democrats hold more positive views of democratic socialism than capitalism
Our polling finds that while capitalism remains the preferred political ideology among likely voters overall, Democrats are especially receptive to the politics and values of democratic socialism and socialism.

I do not want the government to won everything. I do want the U.S. economy and government to move in socialist directions. All this would require would be a return to and a continuation of New Deal policies. It would mean strong labor unions, a high minimum wage, and a well financed public sector of the economy paid for by steeply progressive taxation.
As I have demonstrated,m there is majority support for these policies.
Then we don't need the DOE.
What spending cuts are the 19 members of the House Freedom Caucus wanting from Speaker Johnson and the GOP? Perhaps some of the cuts they want are reasonable and justifiable, but I don't know what these folks are all about.
WASHINGTON – House lawmakers abruptly went home a day early partially due to a familiar sight for the House Republican conference: a rebellion from the lower chamber’s most conservative lawmakers.
The quick departure came just one day after passing a short-term stopgap measure to avert a government shutdown.
Some 19 Republicans, mostly comprised of members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, tanked a procedural vote Wednesday morning. The procedural vote – referred to as a rule vote – has traditionally passed along party lines regardless of any member’s support or opposition to the bill’s rule.
House conservatives, however, have broken that precedent multiple times this year, illustrating how unwieldy the deeply divided GOP majority is for newly installed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
Hard-right lawmakers shot down the rule vote this time around partly out of retaliation for Johnson’s funding plan – referred to as a continuing resolution – that cleared the House Tuesday. Those members have clamored for past months that any funding legislation include deep spending cuts, but Johnson’s bill was considered “clean” for retaining government funding at current levels.
Among their other grievances was opposition to a slate of amendments on one of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government long-term.
“There’s certainly a concern with the bill itself in addition to concern relative to what happened with the (continuing resolution) yesterday,” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., a member of the Freedom Caucus who voted against the rule.
Chair of the Freedom Caucus, Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., contended that he and his conservative colleagues killed the rule vote out of “good faith” in pursuit of conservative policy wins.

The suppression of zero point is going to blow up as the greatest criminal scandal in human history.
The sooner, the better. The federal education system and colleges are full of trash.
OK, write your legislator and let them know.
Then tell your school systems how to figure out how to provide an education with no federal funds for Title I and Special Education students (where most of K-12 federal funding goes).
Then tell colleges they need to tell students that there will be no applicable student loans in the schools post-secondary community colleges, colleges, and Universities including vocational training schools.
If you get enough states to go with it, Ed Department will go away.

Communism does not prove that socialism does not work. It proves that a dictatorship is an inappropriate government for a command economy.
