Education needs to be reformed, not subsidized.

The military budget is an obvious target because it is ridiculously high, but I think they need to reduce over a period of time. Say 5-8% of the total budget per year. Over 10 years you'll have cut almost $300 billion in spending.
Give the military time to properly figure out how to become more efficient without spending so much money.
You could either invest that money into something better, or just take the $18 billion the US spends on oil and gas subsidies and spend it on something better.
There is a LOT of waste and unnecessary spending in the budget.
