an across-the-board cut is a blunt political instrument whose time has returned.

Across-the-board cuts like this are worse than doing nothing. Agencies handle them by eliminating training and travel, which leaves employees sitting around the office getting paid for doing busy work because they can't get out to do their jobs, and postponing new computer systems, which obviates improvements in efficiency, while they wait for better times.

The only sensible way to cut spending is to cut programs.
