The main systemic effect of zeroing out back office workers is they're going to be really pissed off and all of them will be unemployed. They all vote for one political party, BTW, as a block, so guess which party likes this idea and which hates it? Another way to look at it is if you had a magic oracle to make sure only the "right" people were being helped, you could safely fire all those back office people and cut taxes for everyone by $1000 by relying on the magic oracle to save a grand of back office dough per year. Well, lacking that magical oracle, why not just fire the whole back office and mail out $1K reimbursement checks to everyone? I mean, fundamentally, if the back office isn't providing $1K per resident of value per year, is there any inherent value in keeping them employed other than buying votes or something? So fire them and give the money back to the citizens it was stolen from, by writing a check...
