00:00Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions, and that
00:17includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about.
00:22But what should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that
00:27doesn't benefit anybody – waste we should be getting rid of even if we didn't have
00:31a deficit.
00:32Sure, some of these cuts aren't that big, but no amount of waste is acceptable – not
00:37when it's your money, not at a time when so many Americans are already cutting back.
00:41Just as families are living within their means, government should too.
00:45Did you know the federal government pays for a website devoted to a folk music ensemble
00:50made up of forest rangers?
00:52They're called the Fiddlin' Foresters.

02:00They're called the Fiddlin' Foresters.
02:03I'll put their music on my iPod, but I'm not paying for their website.
02:08And there are hundreds of similar sites that we should consolidate or just get rid of.
02:13By the way, you're not only paying for websites no one needs.
02:16You're paying for thousands of buildings all across the country no one uses.

02:54together we are in debt at $36 trillion.
