Your list also includes individual states. Given that California wants to secede maybe you have a point (we'll give them Nevada's share of the Mojave Desert in exchange for California's share of the Lake Tahoe basin).

The Pentagon has three as many civilian employees as it does military employees. Top 5: IRS, State Dept., Dept. of Education, Pentagon, and EPA.

This action would cause an adverse summary calculation to my job creation thread, but I am willing to adjust the figures when necessary to be fair.

The teams also are looking at staffing cuts over four years through attrition, a hiring freeze and reorganization.
That isn't really cutting, especially as the attrition in fed gov is pretty slow. Might take 4 years to hit that 20% mark.
eta: I doubt we would see any difference with a 10% budget slash and 20% workforce slash. But make them hard cuts.

Every. Agency needs to be cut to the bone. There are so many people who do nothing, it's simply amazing.
The best and only way to do this is by dramatically reducing budgets so agencies are forced to cull the herd. Unfortunately, they will fire all the productive employees and keep the ones who do the least.

My wife just got a job as a wildlife biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Services.. Hopefully she's not on the chopping block! I promise, she actually works very hard.

If he doesnt specifically force elimination of programs, this will fail miserably and make government even more inefficient.
If they force programs to be cut, the result will be smaller gov with less employees and operating costs, and the programs that provide value won't be strangled for the sake of hanging on to programs that don't.

Cutting a government job equals +1.75 to the positive column.
