So everything from classified material to office memos and personnel records? That's not gonna happen. If you, at home, pay someone to do work, what exactly do

  some slippery slope arguments are stupid, such as yours. Obviously you keep personnel records private (unless there's some law/court case requiring it be open). Classified material is already classified, and is kept private regardless - but there's a good argument to be made that there ought to be automatic declassification of material after a set amount of time (perhaps 20-30 years). Declassifying material is good for the public, as the ability to audit the past prevents future abuses.

  This is a strawman. Not the parent, but I'm pretty sure that their intent is that it's the default that should be flipped. At the moment, all agencies default to confidential, and only share their work in particular cases; the proposed change would be of making all the work transparent unless explicitly classified. As a good example of how this approach is implemented, see Gitlab, which share pretty much everything except personal data of their employees and customers.
