The White House is considering eliminating funding for arts, public broadcasting and legal services to cut domestic spending, according to the New York Times.
 
The Times reported late Friday that it obtained an internal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo containing a “hit list” of programs that could be axed.
 
Reportedly on the list: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Americorps, the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities, the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Export-Import Bank, among others.

You have to start somewhere. But I suspect these are some possibilities being explored.

I'd like to see Trump announce a major initiative to eliminate fraud and waste in government... specifically in the VA, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and any other government-run programs.

Those in Congress willing to do the right thing won't try if they know their efforts will be hopeless. If Trump will take the lead then they can try.
