But it is reasonable that a large number could be eliminated over the course of one or two terms as president.

We need more federal employees. Off the top of my head, we need more FDA/USDA inspectors. A lot more. We need more IRS auditors (who will largely pay for themselves with increased revenues from tax-cheats). We need more SEC investigators. We need more OSHA investigators.

I could probably think of more if I dug deep, but we've been cutting those jobs for decades, and it shows.
