A real serious fiscal conservatives (which means very few in Washington of either party) would reign in the future growth of entitlements since that's at least ten times as big as any other issues. They probably shouldn't limit it to that. Even much smaller issues are still a lot of money so you could also look at taxes, defense spending, non-entitlement social spending, all forms of corporate welfare, and all other forms of spending big or small, but whatever you do in those other areas isn't going to be enough if you don't do something serious about entitlements. The ACA was "doing something" about entitlements. But it was moving in the wrong direction, it made the issue bigger and worse. The same holds for all the previous entitlement expansions.
