Finally, prioritizing evidence-based policies over gut feelings - what a novel concept!

Great, another position to get Senate-confirmed. Fingers crossed it won't take a lifetime.

Another bureaucratic layer to slow everything down? Just what Washington needed!

One more cushy job in Washington - who knew 'foreign assistance' would become its own industry!
