Nobody cried for the Keystone pipeline workers that lost their jobs. There wasn’t much of a whimper when Bill Clinton cut 400,000 government jobs. The duplicity is obnoxious. Even Jon Favreau, former Obama speechwriter lamented that Obama’s team should have done some of what DOGE is doing.

People are not concerned with cutting, they are concerned with how it's being done which is causing disruption:
The cuts that Clinton made to the federal workforce followed a six-month period called the National Performance Review, launched in March 1993, soon after he took office. The review process ended in September of that year with a report that found nearly 400 recommendations, which Clinton then implemented gradually so that essential services were not interrupted even as the workforce shrank considerably.
"Nothing could be more different in that approach than the approach that Musk and his team have taken, which is to assume the federal government's employees are the enemy, and the less of them we have, the better," he said.
