Gore misstates job-cutting role 'Reinventing' results do not match claims, many analysts say By Jonathan Weisman Sun National Staff Originally published Oct 27 2000 WASHINGTON - Ever since Al Gore smashed an ashtray on David Letterman's show a few years ago to dramatize what was wrong with the federal bureaucracy, the vice president's "Reinventing Government" initiative has achieved some of its goals - from improving the Social Security Administration's customer service hotline to helping citizens file income taxes online. What it hasn't done, many analysts say, is what Gore continues to claim it has: cut 300,000 federal jobs.
