The nuanced reality is you can only dismantle so much it of it at a given rate, massive layoffs/terminations of Federal Positions would have a drastic negative effect on the economy in the short term.

In the long term, it may be beneficial but the shock it would cause to the system would be huge.

The realistic approach is an easing, stop new federal hiring, let the private sector grow, and then gradually reduce the employees.

The only argument in favor is the band aid approach, just get it done simply because the next administration might not follow up on the agenda.
