Hoover Report Reorganization Sparks National Debate
The Hoover Commission's call to reform the federal government draws mixed public response. Skeptics doubt action while others fear deliberate disruption of democratic processes. The report highlights growth in civilian federal employment from 500,000 to over 2 million and bureaucratic expansion to 1800 units, with government spending rising from three to forty two billion dollars. It warns of high costs, taxes, and inefficiency, urging a more responsive, economy minded administration with better oversight and coordination. Hoover notes most personnel are dispersed nationwide, working to improve citizens' lives under federal direction.
