They claim the reason for it all is this:
“We’re bloated. We’re sloppy. We have a lot of people that aren’t doing their job.”
They offer no evidence of this. And the crazy part is that it just isn't true. Also in the end it will cost us money, they are not saving anything, and just shifting it to things that actually are grift. So instead of National Parks benefitting everyone, we have a bunch of unneeded and poorly made Tesla Trucks benefitting Musk.[/quote]

+1 and even if cuts need to be made, the way to do it would be to have people who understand the agencies make reasonable assessments and to prioritize cutting people with poor performance reviews. Not this slash and burn and figure out later what we broke. [/quote]
