My Take
Vought is one of the most consequential Washington figures most ordinary Americans have never heard of, which is exactly how budget directors usually operate. Love him or loathe him, he is a serious policy wonk who thinks in systems rather than slogans, and his blueprints for reshaping the executive branch have had outsized influence on the conservative movement. I find him genuinely interesting as a study in how administrative power actually works, far from the cameras. He is polarizing by design, but you cannot understand modern federal-budget fights without reckoning with his ideas about the size and reach of government.
