Since when did efficiency become right-wing?

The ongoing audit of the USAID agency is revealing a litany of wasteful spending that would be hilarious if it wasn't so outrageous (I mean, $8 million to study the effect of flavored cigarettes on bisexuals and lesbians?). There are only two reasons to oppose the Trump administration's efficiency crusade: either you are simply sworn to oppose anything Trump-related, or you are angry about losing a global progressive indoctrination slush fund. Neither is becoming for the left.
