Someone would indeed be getting cut, but government should cut expenses for a different reason. It's no secret that governments are inefficient. In private sector you get ahead by working hard, by being efficient, by making your company as profitable as possible. Same drive for efficiency doesn't exist in the government. In the government those with the most friends get ahead and so the game is played not by spending $$ / time efficiently, but by spending it in a way so that you make the most friends.
And so by cutting expenses you would at least partially squeeze this inefficiency out.
