        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.

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

    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?

          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.
