#2There’s so much hyperbole from the side that doesn’t want a reduction in wasteful spending and is resisting what voters asked for. Audits, accountability, and efficiency projects are all normal in the corporate world. It should be normal for government agencies as well. There have been similar efforts in some past administrations too. The real danger to America is doing nothing, which means continued runaway debt, and continued corruption from channeling taxpayer money to things like political nonprofits.
Random staffers are also not going to be good judges as to what’s critical in public services or what can be delivered cheaply or what is just not necessary, just like random employees wouldn’t be at any company. Their job is to follow the executive’s orders.
This letter also has no names listed. How is it established that it is legitimate?

None of what is being done is an audit or efficiency project similar to what is done in the corporate world.

This is an utterly delusional view. No one is cheering government waste. Turn off your computer, go outside, and talk to real human beings.

The government already had an auditing structure in place and if you look at the entirety of spending versus what they want to cut you'll find that their definition of waste and yours probably don't align.
In addition, it should be telling that a group of random 21 technicians collectively, explicitly state that they feel this activity goes against their oath to the people and the constitution. These are people who are not ideologues. It should be a massive red flag to anyone who actually gives a damn and hasn't already gone full neuralink brain.

"No one is cheering government waste. "
Of course they aren't. This was all hidden from us for the last 4 years (and probably longer).
"This is an utterly delusional view."
All of these articles and interviews only show anger about the people being fired and even when there are examples of waste, it's completely ignored.
Who is the delusional one here?
"Turn off your computer, go outside, and talk to real human beings."
Seeing as how the current administration currently has a very high approval rating, I don't think this is going to go they way you think it will.

I normally don't like to do homework for random people on HN, but it's roughly 52% at the moment:

Remind me: what was the national debt on 1/20/2017 and 1/20/2021?
How's that old saying go about trying the same thing multiple times and expecting different outcomes?
