I don't see any of these three, especially the first, going over smoothly for the US. The first is particularly careless cause we've positioned our self to be a military target as the world police.
The other two would cause economic problems. Obviously it wants to be an economic fix, but our economy is infused with federal funding and federal employees. Cutting them would create a huge job demand, which would lead to increased poverty and crime. There would be a long, devastating transition before the system got to where libertarians imagine it being (if that ideal is even a realistic goal).
