Trump Is Making Government Worse on Purpose

The SAVE Act that Trump is pushing is not simply a voter ID bill.
The free program saved users substantial time and money, but Trump killed it after lobbying by tax-prep and software companies.
To Trump and his tech and MAGA cronies, “reinventing government” means maximizing profit for themselves and people like them, while making it maximally punitive and exhausting for everyone else.
Trump and his allies are not those people, and this won’t take off while he’s president.
