Honestly I’d favor just an attrition policy (LOTS of Federal employees are retiring within 10 yrs) to reduce staffing. That, plus making benefits more in line with comparable private-sector jobs, and consolidating duties over time as people leave, is a reasonable idea because, as you say, it’s not that big a chunk.
It’s ENTITLEMENTS that cost so much money, and nobody has the b@lls to touch those.
