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

        Yah, that’s my read too. There’s been several of these oddly polite users posting heinous articles and responding in childlike ways.

      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.
