    You read the whole article?

          No, the article title doesn’t paint the actions of Musk and DOGE in as poor a light as the content of the article.

          If anything I’m positing the OP saw an article title that could be seen as a positive for Trump/Musk and posted it here.

            lots of assumptions there. it’s an ap news article, they wrote it, they created the title. I posted it. I followed the rules of the community.

    Trump isn’t making cuts.

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

      That’s actually the point of the article. Just a bad headline from the editor.

      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.

      “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.”

        Are you actually serious? You like the utter chaos that’s happening, the loss of institutional knowledge? The harm that this is causing people?

        Then why did you post this?

        Those familiar with the Clinton-era Reinventing Government push say it holds lessons for both how to remake the federal bureaucracy and the comparatively meager savings that can be achieved from such an effort.

        “We did it without a constitutional crisis,” said Elaine Kamarck, who ran Reinventing Government as a senior Gore adviser in the 1990s. “Unlike these people, we didn’t think there were vast trillions in efficiencies. … Their mandate is only to cut. Our was: Works better, costs less.”

        “It requires speaking out. It requires saying, ‘That violates the law, that violates the authorities of the executive,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.

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

    Now they are using him as a role model.
