Of the choices people have proffered so far, I'm actually most partial to Torie's suggestion of axing ethanol subsidies. I might take it one step further and say, "the farm bill"- targeted ag subsidies tend to do more harm than good (for instance, as silly as ethanol is, HFCS is worse). But apparently food stamps are part of the farm bill too, and we really do need to keep them going and if anything expand them- it's an anti-poverty program that really does help farmers in a non-counterproductive manner.
I'd also consider axing the law that says any road built with federal help can't be tolled. This is exactly backwards, as all Interstates ought to be tolled.
