The resurgence of 'slash-and-burn' government policy underscores a belief that bureaucracy is overly bloated and inefficient. Figures like Elon Musk advocate for cuts, reflecting a broader sentiment among politicians. Historically, government intervention has been essential in times of crisis, such as during the financial collapse and the Covid-19 pandemic. However, comparisons show that the current federal workforce is smaller than it was post-World War II. Moreover, past examples like Live TV illustrate the dangers of inexperienced leadership eviscerating complex, well-functioning organizations without understanding their intricacies.
"The complaints about bloated bureaucracy reflect a belief that business leaders understand efficiency better than bureaucrats, yet the government workforce is historically leaner now than post-WWII."
"As seen during previous crises, government intervention is necessary, but cutting bureaucracy recklessly can lead to mistakes and operational chaos, as history shows with Live TV's leadership failure."
