The ongoing “ready, shoot, aim” approach to government efficiency brings daily consequences of hobbled and/or eliminated school programs, veteran services, medical care, voter rights, environmental protections, and so on.

Abraham Lincoln famously described our particular form of government as “of the people, by the people, for the people.” So it seems to me that if we slash and cut and terminate all of the people parts, there will be no constitutional republic left. And a real danger of it perishing from the earth.
