You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.

And you would be right. There's no doubt that some government agencies are bloated and overstaffed. But what this administration is doing is not even close to fixing any of these problems. They set out to allegedly trim a few sick trees and instead they're burning down the entire forest!
