Public broadcasting's $1B cut pales next to the $172B annual bloat at Health and Human Services or the $325B VA budget riddled with inefficiency. The real debt drivers? Permanent bureaucracies that balloon regardless of which party holds power.

Tax reforms focus on growth - the 2017 cuts generated $300B+ new revenue through economic expansion, not handouts. If we're serious about deficits, start by auditing the $674B in FY2024 discretionary spending that funds redundant programs and six-figure paper-pushers.

Elmo's not the problem - a broken system protecting its own bloat is.
