First: FREEZE government civilian hiring (including no refills for retirements, separations, or attrition. (Also freeze /do not renew existing contractor support contracts)
Second: Reassign remaining government personnel to staff most critical (relative to agency mission) internal positions.
Third: any programs that cannot be operated with the resulting reduced staffing, abolish them, and reassign remaining staff; return unspent budgets to general fund.
Fourth: reward agencies that accomplish mission under budget by increasing next years budget by 25% of the budget savings (rest to general fund).
Fifth: Agencies that exceed budget or do not perform 100% of mission, get next year's budget reduced by amount of overrun/unaccomplished mission requirements.
REPEAT until we have a balanced budget and National debt reduced to low percentage of GDP..
