Yep, it sucks, but in the end if they are going to make any kind of meaningful cuts someone, somewhere is likely going to lose their job. Some places might have the ability to do it through attrition and let people retire/quit/get fired for other reasons and just not replace them, but still, when you pull billions out of the budget that money is often connected to someone, somewhere.
There is some stuff they could do like remove a bunch of the foreign aid that we give other countries. They could also offer government workers the option of taking a pay cut in order to keep their jobs, but I don't know how much they could be able to cut just doing those few things.
