Unless you include Medicare, Social Security and defense, the 1% would be insignificant. For example cutting SS non benefit admin costs equals only $72 million. By comparison we spend over $2 billion a day in interest costs.

The fact that government spending is a runaway train doesn’t mean you couldn’t throw some daylight on the most egregious spending.
