A one million % increase in funds for the research of sexbots.

The only thing to cut that even makes a dent in the deficit is defense spending. I hate it, but it's true... Everything else is like 10B here, 4B there, and even if you cut it all wouldn't get you there.

Entire departments need to go.

Your budget deficit for 2015 is $257 billion.

I got it down to 10B, but I didn't cut enough defense spending and taxed too much. :( I hate cutting defense spending and taxing because it drives the economy... all those defense projects put a lot of people in jobs.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Most of mine was in defense. I want a little more information on some of those. For instance I'd do away with the Department of Homeland Security but it says border patrol is under the DHLS and I don't want to cut that.

I ran a surplus on the last one.

Edit: I ran a surplus on the last link.

I would use magic.....Sooner Magic.

I at first thought I would end up with a deficit of only $600 billion. I ended up with a budget of $500 billion. Therefore I saved the government $100 billion. And I want my cut.
