William Jefferson Clinton hated poor people too .... remember when he signed the welfare reform stuff? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Once again, nobody is saying reducing spending, waste, etc, etc is a bad thing. A reasoned approach led by people who are knowledgeable is the way most people think it could be done most efficiently and effectively.

Does that sound crazy?

Excerpt:
After mass layoffs, some federal agencies are trying to bring employees back

"The way we've traditionally reduced the size of the federal workforce is to take a scalpel and kind of target particular programs where we think there might be bloat," he said. "This is more like taking a sledgehammer to the entire executive branch."

A number of agencies appear to be trying to reinstate employees they just fired. That's been the case for dozens of workers at agencies including the U.S. Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

"Part of the problem is that a lot of these political appointees don't necessarily know what these programs are or what they're designed to do," Bednar says. "Things break almost immediately when these employees leave, and so you have to call them back."
