If we don't touch SS Retirement or medicare because lets be realistic if we want something passable:
We can reduce the rolls of people who need to be paid to 278 million people.
We can get 396 billion by cutting welfare (but if we do this, children get the same bi, and that's not being sure there aren't protective services in here which would need to still exist) at the federal level, we get $187 billion by cutting the people who don't get SS because they are old.
That's a total of $585 billion, with a needed sum of 3300 billion total (aka, 3.3 trillion).
This means we're still at a deficit of 2715 billion (2.715 trillion) dollars
Where else does that come from? (I'm asking, legitimately)
With the money I can see that could be freed up at the federal level, I see a yearly benefit of 585B/267M -> $2191, or 183 a month.
This is an equivalent (for fulltime job holders) of a raise of the minimum wage by 1.10 an hour.
