• Ending the practice of giving lifetime appointments to federal judges (current judges would not be affected);

• Cutting Congressional pay in half;

• Cutting Congressional pay in half again if they don’t balance the budget by 2020;

• Cutting Congressional office budgets in half;

• Cutting the Congressional calendar by half;

• Criminalizing insider trading by Congressmen;

• Reducing spending to 18% of GDP;

• Privatizing Fannie & Freddie;

• Ending the funding of Planned Parenthood;

• Eliminating the Commerce, Education, and Energy Departments;

• Getting the EPA under control;

• Getting the TSA under control;

• Audit the government, including the Department of Defense;

• Freeze incoming federal regulations, and audit all of them for the last five years;

• Federal salary freeze for all non-military and non-law enforcement officials until the budget is balanced;

• And cutting the Presidential salary in half until the budget is balanced

Подвергнется, надо думать, разнообразным поношениям. А жаль, многие пункты там заслуживают внимания.
