Yes get rid of bloat.
But do not bloat the unemployed numbers without first preparing better options for them to move on to.

Fire the fucks at the CDC who are killing all the food for no good reason.
Fire the bankster fucks.
Fire the insurance fucks.
Fire all the unethical work - AND - prepare actually ethical productive work for EVERYONE including the fired.

Make no MAGAtard mistake about it.
This is centralization of evil power.

Notably, the OMB-OPM memo exempts key national security functions such as:

• Positions that are necessary to meet law enforcement, border security, national security, immigration enforcement, or public safety responsibilities;
• Military personnel in the armed forces and all Federal uniformed personnel, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service, and the Commissioned Officer Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration;
• Officials nominated and appointed to positions requiring Presidential appointment or Senate confirmation, non-career positions in the Senior Executive Service or Schedule C positions in the excepted service, officials appointed through temporary organization hiring authority pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 3161, or the appointment of any other non-career employees or officials, if approved by agency leadership appointed by the President;
• The Executive Office of the President; or
• The U.S. Postal Service.
• Finally, agencies or components that provide direct services to citizens (such as Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ health care) shall not implement any proposed ARRPs until OMB and OPM certify that the plans will have a positive effect on the delivery of such services.
