Oops, looks like I found a bug. The poll won't render the results graph very well.
You didnt' have this one on the list....
The earnings of the Senate and Congress both state and federal.
I agree though many jobs here on earth would be lost.
I would cut back on defence. There's an enormous amount of waste in that area.
There are some significant problems with this pie chart.
If you go to the actual budget documents:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/pdf/hist.pdf
defense spending is 20% of the total
human resources (including education, health, medicare and social security) are 59% of the budget
physical resources (including Energy, Commerce, Transportation, etc.) are 5%
Interest is 8%
The last time defense was more than 50% of the budget was in 1961.
As to where I would cut...
14 billion of international humanitarian assistance
