1. Nationalise healthcare. Massive savings to businesses as they no longer have to fork out for health insurance for their employees and retirees which should save well more than the extra tax revenue used to pay for it. (Almost all the scary budget predictions are caused by the inefficient US medical system sending medicaid and medicare through the roof.)
So if businesses don't pay for healthcare who will?  We will with higher taxes.  Someone is going to pay.  I don't want the Federal government in charge of my family's healthcare.

2. Make those incarcerated on minor non-violent drug offences do community work instead of sitting in prison. It saves large amounts of money and gets useful work done, a double saving.
Agreed.

How about obviating the referendum-based budgetary laws and replace them with more sensible ones that take into account the cascading effects of the entitlements on the overall budget?
