There are some important caveats to that logic: - the share of the budget spending from these worker cuts is minuscule, even the overall cost of all federal worker is a small percentage of spending, the bulk of spending is in entitlements and defense + debt repayment from deficit spending (which tax cuts always increase) - if tariffs work at making manufacturing come back to the US then the tariff revenues will decrease since fewer products will be imported, and while they are in effect they are a tax increase which will slow down economic activity since they will directly affect consumer spending (unlike a tax increase on high earners would)
