I've got at least my share of criticisms of the Clinton administration but they don't receive enough credit for doing that, making government work. At least in certain instances and ways. I'm told, for instance, that Gore's attempt to cut the size of the federal government by making its work more efficient was a terrific success. I've never read much about it but that's precisely one of the problems. There is a serious claim out there that they made it more efficient but no one touts it or, for that matter, looks at the argument seriously. Couple that with the unchallenged notion that, at least in the one well advertised case, FEMA, the Clinton people improved it enormously, and there is serious reason to suspect that it was an illustration of wider work, and you have a big twofer. More efficiency and better performance.
