You can't get too specific because Congress needs to legislate. However, the biggest area of reform still needs to be entitlements.  And a good business cuts back by attrition and eliminating all the mid level non essential layers.  You re-assign people to other areas and as people retire you fill the positions with the bench.  It takes a little longer but it won't affect the economy as if you laid off thousands of people all at once. If businesses feel comfortable again to hire, we get new revenue streams of taxation without raising taxes. It also eliminates the spending that goes to food stamps and unemployment.  It will work.  Business will take a chance if they don't feel the boot on their throat.</blockquote>
