Seems like you understand it pretty well.

Trump wants them to feel the pain, so they have to cut staff.

Department lawyers are probably fighting to spend every penny Congress provides.

This place is infested with leftists soaking up those federal government paychex!

Correct .. its the Uniparty..

I wish Trump would call for and demand repeal of the 17th Amendment.. thus ending the Uniparty and Fedzilla.

A line item veto would solve this problem, something congress will never agree to.

Congress did once. The Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.

My personal solution, which I wish the President would do, but won’t, is the veto every spending bill until we have a balanced budget. It won’t work because there would be too much pain for Congress to accept and they would eventually override the veto.

He could begin by submitting a balanced budget.
