I think the Federal Govt.'s # 1 priority and probably the only priority is national defense. Thus more lead way in the military spending dept. Of course it should be much leaner but just because you cut defense spending, doesn't mean you transfer that spending over to welfare and other programs. Quite the opposite.
If military is going to be smaller...welfare, social security and medicare should be even smaller if not extinct. The Social security trustfund has been spent...people take more out of it then it gets paid into with Payroll taxes.
If you wanna keep some social security for old folks, then Payroll taxes should be raised on the poor as well. If you remember....Obama and Dems cut Pay roll taxes even though it's supposed to fund SS and nothing else. Whenever they think about 'tax cuts' it's in the wrong department hurting the programs they claim to be in favor of.
