    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?

      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.
