I like Reich, but this is dumb. They never railed about bureaucrats "destroying government," they railed about them destroying healthcare, education, the economy, etc. -- and they didn't even give a shit about those things, they were just cynical covers to defend privatization of those areas. ~~Destroying~~ "Shrinking" government has been their stated goal since at least Grover Norquist, and they love that it's being done now (even in a way that actually does destroy healthcare, education, and the economy).
