So basically: less defense, more insurance, less infrastructure and research. This is the trifecta of basic public goods the federal government is well-suited to provide. Would be nice to tip the scales more in favor transportation infrastructure and basic research grants, with less spent on boondoggle defense programs (http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/tag/f-22/) and subsidizing out of control growth in health care costs vs. other first-world nations (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/why-an-m...) though.
