Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions

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.

I think no one that downvoted actually read the article.

To be fair, it’s an unlucky title. My reaction at first, was also negative.

I must admit, i had forgotten about Clinton’s Reinventing Government. Probably because it was a pretty boring affair for people not involved and his other not-so-boring affair kept the nation busy anyway.

  Buddy, I literally quoted the article. A quote that paints these actions Trump and Musk are doing in a very poor light.
  
  I have strong doubts of your reading comprehension.

    Ok, and how is anything I said showing doubts of my reading comprehension. You asked if I read it. I said I read it.

    Yes and comprehension is if you understand what you read.
    
    I’m going to assume you support these actions Trump and Musk are doing due to your whole…thing…you have going on here.
    
    Thus using what we call context clues, I am going to assume you don’t agree with the thrust of this argument. However, looking at the rest of your comment history, you’re not talking about the article, or it’s salient points.
    
    So yes, your reading comprehension is suspect. Due to, ya know, everything you’re doing here.
