I tend to agree. Although what I would prefer would be mandated cuts in employees proportioned across the whole organization.
The federal government today is comprised of too many folks with too much time on their hands thinking up ways to interfere in other people’s lives and to mess up the economy. Cut 10% this year. 10% next year. Keep cutting until we can actually tell cuts were made. Then cut another 50%.
But overall, the description in the article of the cuts seems like a pretty sensible way to start chopping down our insane federal bureaucracy.
