Majority Leader John Boehner and I recently sent a proposal to President Obama that would save taxpayers $375 billion over the next five years.

Here are some examples of the proposed cuts, terminations and spending suspensions:

• Suspend spending on Federal Land Purchases, decreasing spending by $990 million over five years.
• Terminate Federal Transportation funding for “Non-Motorized Transportation Projects”, decreasing spending by $125 million over five years.
• Consolidate and reduce funding for Federal Advisory Committees, decreasing spending by $170 million over five years.
• Eliminate Federal Transportation funding for landscaping, museums, and other transportation “enhancements,” decreasing spending by $4.1 billion over five years.
• Terminate duplicative Education Programs, decreasing spending by $2.2 billion over five years.

With most Americans making budget cuts of our own it is time we pushed the government to follow suit.
