The problem with that logic (that cuts are un-needed), is that they are needed. However, they are not cutting personnel or payroll, just work output and service.

Government jobs are gravy trains now and have been for some time. A G number should not be a ticket to ride. and if it is, you should be willing to work "in service" for your country. None of that exists. Doubt that? Go to your local DMV, SS or Post office
