end federal subsidies to farms, cut spending on defense, reform the tax code, end the Bush tax cuts, subsidize education

Reform government expenditures rather than cutting social spending. Social programs are depended on by a large swath of Americans and cutting funding to them would only be detrimental to the country as a whole, as poverty rates would rise, along with homelessness. Pell grant funding should increase, along with other grants for children from low-income families wishing to attend college. Grants should also be made available for single mothers to attend a local college in order to get a degree.
