Simple Solutions To The US Budget Crisis:
End two wars of occupation. Leave the Middle East and Central Asia.
Stop fighting the Cold War. Leave Europe.

Stop funding the military power of other nations.
End all military contracts, and return all of those duties to the military itself.
Close Guantanamo and return Cuba's sovereign territory.
Abrogate NAFTA completely. [I'd also say withdraw from the IMF and WTO, but we own the damned things!]
Stop subsidizing the already highly profitable oil industry.
Stop subsidizing the highly unprofitable corn industry.
Nationalize the private prison industry.
Release all minor, non-violent drug offenders and stop paying a fortune to incarcerate them.

Establish a State Bank for each of the fifty states and have each state treasury deposit ALL state revenues, pension funds, etc 'exclusively' in their own State Bank.
Establish a national Single Payer 'buy in' program for Medicare with no age restrictions.
Extend a fully funded Medicaid to everyone below the poverty line.
Rebuild all of America's infrastructure from the ground up.
