The one thing I'd cut immediately 100% is the drug war. Putting people in prison for years and costing a ton of money because they sold pot is crazy, especially when we could tax legal sales instead...

Getting soft drugs out of the hands of criminals by legalising it, would save a lot of money and create tax revenues. Like prostitution, legalise and regulate it. The regulation to be paid for by the legal brothels.
In fact a lot of the regulation should be funded by the industries and with them having zero influence or control. Why should the tax payer pay for regulating industries to make sure they do the right thing?
Still back in the real world. It's never going to happen.
