I used to chair the Civil Service Subcommittee. and I would constantly find myself in that position where you knew what the applause line was but you knew it was wrong. You knew you could get great applause from audiences if you went out and said the Federal Government is fat. and it is lazy. and it is terrible. and blow it up. And everybody said yes. yes. yes. that is wonderful. And then you would say to people. OK. now what do you want to blow up? Do you want to blow up the Park Service? No. We like the parks. What about the immigration service? No. we need the immigration service. What about drug enforcement? We need them.
