Cutting off your leg is tough but doable.

I have a really hard time believing these cuts aren't going to hurt services. They're saying they aren't going to lay off public servants, which suggests to me that it'll be the actual service delivery that'll take the hit.

They're absolutely saying it will hurt services.

Do Economists never cut spending?

Saving the economy will need more spending, even if some efficiencies in government is fine. Don't hear about anything about economic boosting other than dead ender energy pipelines.
