President Donald Trump’s effort to do as much as possible as quickly as possible to remake the federal government would gut agencies that have existed for decades or longer. His larger plans would remake elements of the government infrastructure that have been around for centuries.
There are lots of locked doors. Each door has one key, and one key master (forgive the phrase). A single person cannot enter every door on their own. This is a good system.
However… if the key masters can be convinced to re-key their door with the same key, then anyone who has one key has them all.
The system failed when the key masters became corrupt and/or lazy. And the country failed when we saw it happening and did nothing.
If something like that can be easily be undone, then either it wasn’t anything or the people who made it didn’t try very hard to secure it.
