The federal government will, unfortunately, be seeing a massive "brain drain" over the next (hoperfully only) 4 years. I don't even think that it was this bad under GWB. I mean, they put in cronies who didn't really believe in their agencies, but it still doesn't seem like it ever got like this. Certainly a RADICAL departure from the last 8 years.
