Everything they are cutting falls into the “Other” category in this chart: https://www.crews.bank/charts/taxes-and-spending Even if they cut 100% of government functions other than entitlements, healthcare, and defense, it would not solve the deficit.

Is DHS "other", or "defense"?

Regardless, I think the primary costs created by regulation aren't directly to the government budget, but rather knock-on effects of compliance incurred by the entire nation's economy.

DHS would fall under “other”.
