If there is "bloat" in NASA's budget, then the first thing to do is to identify those projects which don't make sense, then Congress decides to cut the money for those projects, then you let go of the personnel working on them if they're not needed for other projects. That is definitely _not_ what is happening here. Also, if NASA were forced to drop SLS, that would make it reliant on Falcon Heavy, which coincidentally is made by the person in charge of cutting NASA's budget.
