That last line is interesting.

Would you be comfortable having your entire household torn apart and reorganized by a group of young men who won’t tell you what they’re doing, why they’re doing it beyond “efficiency,” and you have no say in how they do it?

No? Because that’s what happening.

I am in no way saying the federal government doesn’t need optimization: it does.

What I’m saying is that sending inexperienced, unscreened, 18-22 year olds into our nation’s most sensitive data (SSNs, bank accounts, and control of the entirety of the nation’s money) with zero oversight and in violation of dozens of laws meant to keep our National Security tight is a super bad idea.

And it’s just dumb.

Now, if they’d sent auditors in to do this and they worked with Inspector Generals, that would’ve been fine.

If they’d even worked with the budget office to enact the slew of efficiency suggestions they’ve given over the years, that, too, would’ve been fine.

Hell, if they even referenced usaspending.gov during their mission—it’s the open site where you can look up damn near every dollar the Federal Government spends (and it’s been up for years)—I’d be less inclined to be worried.

But instead they’re pushing people out rapidly to make room for sycophants without any care for the stability of our government.

This is going to have terrible consequences.

This week, for example, the Trump admin fired 300 staffers from the National Nuclear Security Administration—the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile.

They did this because they had NO IDEA this department controlled the security and safety of our nation’s nuclear weapons.

By Friday they were already trying to hire them back.

Government is slow for a reason. Yes, it could move faster.

But this is the stupidest, most irresponsible way I can think of to do it besides just lighting DC on fire and walking away.

And it is 100% illegal, which is why these things keep getting blocked in court.

To adapt your own words: perhaps it’s time to work on your own naïveté. Maybe just take a step back and look at it through a lens of: “Okay, so what if this isn’t a good idea” rather than coming in so confident in your preconceived notion.

I went at it from both sides and I am confident that there is no reason for this level of law breaking, system smashing, and consolidation of executive power in an unelected immigrant’s hands if this were not a coup.
