    It’s not an efficiency drive, it’s an eliminate programs that they don’t like or don’t care about drive, efficiency is just a dog whistle in this context.

    They want to free up budget and positions for the sake of paying off people they need the support of. Budget for “special projects” and budget for tax cuts so wealthy people not in on the con don’t complain to much.

    It has the side benefit of making it easier to subjugate federal workers, instill terror with in them so they will just play along for fear of being fired.

    From their perspective it seems like an efficient strategy to get what they want, but they’re being a bit myopic about what is important and don’t realize how many problems they are causing that can now directly be blamed on them come the next election cycle.
