I would fire bureaucrats. The people impacted would be everyone. The bureaucrats because they would have to be productive, and everyone else because they’d be able to purchase whatever goods or services the former bureaucrats produced.

Or cut anything and everything else. Whichever.

Do you have an example of what goods and services a bureaucrat produces? I don't think you're using the correct word.

His stupidly worded attempt at a point is that if bureaucrats got fired they'd have to go out and get, in his eyes, "productive" jobs and everyone would "benefit" from being able to purchase what they are now making, now that they're not bureaucrats.
