The throttling back of some of these agencies is the mechanism needed to eliminate many of the SES positions that are entrenched - part of the DS apparatus. They cannot be fired short of criminal reasons - not that many are not guilty of crimes. But, this is why Trump had so much trouble dealing with the swamp. The one opportunity he had to oust them was taken away by the old swamp monster McConnell when he refused to recess the Congress. So possibly, this can pave the way to allow cutting many of these useless agencies if not eliminate them all together.
