"Presidunce Spanky's drive to scale down the federal government by unleashing and empowering Elon Musk to indiscriminately fire thousands of federal employees, has wreaked chaos.![crazy-tongue-hanging-out-smiley-emoticon[1].gif crazy-tongue-hanging-out-smiley-emoticon[1].gif](https://www.houseofpolitics.com/data/attachments/19/19910-d317ebd7e3f65ff2d7ff6e229b4033b2.jpg?hash=5u8hCLVc_x)

And while there is popular support for the notion of reining in federal spending—especially among Trump's voters—no one imagined that it would be done this haphazardly. Nor did people expect to see so little resistance from Congress as its constitutional power of the purse is trampled over unceremoniously.
.
There have been plenty of demonstrations of the inefficiency of Muskrat's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), from having to rehire workers to being forced to admit claims of vast savings were bogus.
.
Like Trump, Clinton and Gore used presidential directives and executive orders to implement many of their downsizing efforts. But, unlike the current effort, the cutting didn't start until they had gone through a six-month study process and developed a blueprint of how to best reinvent the federal government. Government agencies were brought into the process to determine the best ways that efficiencies could be realized. In fact, the effort was led by some 250 federal employees that remained on their agency payrolls.
.
Gore gave out "Hammer Awards" to government employees—referring to the notorious $600 hammer that the Pentagon had infamously purchased—consisting of a hammer tied with a red ribbon, mounted on a blue velvet background, with words signed by the vice president saying, "Thanks for creating a government that works better and costs less."
