Its insane to look at cuts without looking at revenue dysfunctions (broken tax code) or re-prioritization.

That is EXACTLY what needs to happen.
All the corporate welfare/subsidies for the uber-rich ($1million/year plus) need to end and applicable taxes need to be enforced.
I'd add that we need to re-implement tariffs on goods made overseas since countries like
China do this to our products.
Free Trade isn't free, it costs American's their jobs, and in turn tax revenue of States and local governments.
