But the Reinventing Government project was nearly the opposite of the abrupt, chaotic Musk effort.

But the Reinventing Government project was nearly the opposite of the abrupt, chaotic Musk effort, say those who ran it or watched it unfold. It was authorized by bipartisan congressional legislation, worked slowly over several years to identify inefficiencies and involved federal workers in re-envisioning their jobs.

You read the whole article?

Trump isn’t making cuts.

Presidents don’t get to cut funding. He’s stealing your money.

“There was a tremendous effort put into understanding what should happen and what should change,” said Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, which seeks to improve the federal workforce. “What is happening now is actually taking us backwards.”

Yeah, there's a difference between reform and sabotage.

This is the same Republicans that kept Clinton mired in impeachment hearings for a blowjob ?

Now they are using him as a role model.
