With all the mayhem I was involved with during my stay with the Federal government, and now someone is asking for Federal workers to be fired? Oh, the horror. But, I agree with OP. Too many non-workers, especially union members, infest the agencies and clog the production with needless grievences. But to backfill these positions with Cheeto eating couch slugs would be an exercise in frustration. They can't even count to ten much less run any office in a major Department with Swiss precision.
