So I fundamentally agree with your points, but its not the Government's responsibility to keep these people employed if they're not supplying a benefit and further, we do not want Government cutting jobs over ideological purposes, however, by the same token, one could make the case that the Government created these jobs over ideological purposes in the first place.

I don't disagree. But those people have jobs now. And if we chainsaw all their jobs, like Musk did, while people are losing jobs in private industry, we may end up in a worse situation than we started. If we have more staff than is needed to run the federal government, absolutely, make adjustments. But let's be thoughtful in how it's done.
