In March 1998, reports surfaced that federal bureaucrats were swapping job titles to dodge President Clinton’s mass layoffs.
"You are asking the same bureaucracy that created itself to turn around and reduce itself. They have become very creative in protecting their own skins."
Clinton and Gore aimed to cut 50% of the 700,000 supervisors in the federal government.
To avoid layoffs, many supervisors rebranded themselves as "team leaders," "staff assistants," or "management support specialists," all while giving themselves pay raises.
Even the press, which supported Clinton’s push to cut the deficit and shrink government, called them out.
Fast forward to today, and the legacy press is running an all-out propaganda campaign to malign President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE for daring to slash bureaucratic bloat.
