When Bill Clinton came to Washington as president, his Democratic administration used corporate know-how and the new internet to streamline the federal bureaucracy as part of the “Reinventing Government” push.
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 project. Probably because it was a pretty boring affair for people not involved and his other not-so-boring affair kept the nation busy anyway.
