  For one thing howard the public sector can stop advertising in the Guardian!
  
  I have provided a fair few suggestions previously, but since you asked...
  
  There are a lot of projects that can easily be cut:
  ID cards would save £5bn
  The new national database could save £20bn
  The Personal Account Authority, a few more £bn
  Regional authorities a hell of a lot more than that lot put together!
  Freezing the spending of Quangoes would save around £20bn too, a fair number could be gotten rid of totally.
  That is just for starters.
  
  I would freeze public sector recruitment to minimise redundancies and allow re-assignment and with it freeze public sector spending with any increases being from internal savings. There would be a cyclical rise in benefits, sadly, that would need to be allowed but the aim would be to absorb as much as possible through efficiency savings.
  
  Make no mistake the public sector have been allowed to grow fat on taxpayers money and that gravy train must stop.
  
  I would do a few more things too, getting rid of their final salary pensions to save one hell of a lot of dosh. They can have money purchase schemes like the rest of us.
  
  Quitting the EU would save a lot too!!!!
