Obviously it wouldn't be easy to decide what to ax, but thats why they've got the job and I don't.
Capital spending could be a reduced a bit. Even if you don't balance the budget completely, a billion or two is better than nothing.
I could nitpick on things like teachers salaries, which could be frozen for a year, and then increased a bit more than what was planned this year....as well as a few other things.
But, that might only equal a few million.
Maybe its time to cut taxes, and let the economy generate more revenue?
