Oh, deficit reduction will cut jobs by necessity. You have to get rid of federal and state workers in order to make this work. Those who contract with the government doing things the government has no business doing will need to lose their jobs (or massively restructure, which isn’t cheap).
But we’re approaching the point of no return here (if we’re not already there).
Cutting out illegal immigration and about 90% of the legal immigrants we take in would go a long way in reducing this.
