DOGE and the ‘arson of a public asset’

It’s not clear if there is a set of goals the administration is trying to reach other than simply to cut government.

To connect the dots of what’s happening, I reached out to Max Stier, CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan and nonprofit group that advocates for good government.

It would be one thing, he told me, if workers were being cut intentionally, but it seems indiscriminate and arbitrary.

Instead of “Ready, aim, fire,” he said, it’s “fire, fire fire.”
