How Elon and Vivek plan outline. There are definitely some tools they can use to streamline government and cut costs. Well worth reading. DOGE is going to be interesting to follow.

It’s imperative that the DOGE not be just be a cost cutting and regulatory slashing initiative, although that would be reason enough considering the massive bloat, waste, fraud and abuse in the system. This is about reminding the career bureaucrats they answer to the people through their elected officials. These bureaucrats have for too long usurped the power of the sovereign people and due to the government employee union contracts are not answerable to the elected officials from whom they derive their power. They have become a de facto, independent, unaccountable, fourth branch of government that appears nowhere in the United States Constitution. They are, in fact, the very top-down, authoritarian ruling elite our forefathers rejected in 1776 and replaced in the triumph of the American Revolution.

I struggle to get past the points that DOGE needs two heads instead of the single one that every other department has, and that they propose that government staff can be cut efficiently by 75% by firing everyone with an odd (or even) social security number.

I'm no mathematician but that looks like a 50% cut to me.

We are so stupid. We paid to study this:

What we need, yes.


What we will get is some flaccid half-measure.

 

[AceDesSpades]

A quarter of that...

I swear the quarter-pounder has lightened up.

Soy weighs less than beef. It's volume, not weight.

Just as salty!

So leviathan is the word of the day.

How clever and profound

In Germany we have experience with a law to streamline the government. It worked in the short term. But the chancellor who pushed it through parliament used it to destroy the checks and balances system. He used the new rules to silence the opposition. He then started a war. That chancellor was Adolf Hitler. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933)

That's what Democrats, who are also race-socialist just like the Nazis, have been doing for the last 4 years.

Thank god they got REKT by the SCOTUS, which they really wanted to pack with other race socialist activist so they could violate the people rights at will.

Thank god they didn't have the political juice to get it done.

Unless, of course, Trump and Musk are Manchurians...

DOGE: Making the government more efficient at delivering profits to corporate overlords.

A faster and more efficient track toward enslavement of the working class.

You need a better ACRONYM Builder().

You seem to struggle mightily with most things. Keep trying. I know it hurts your head, but we have faith…you can do it!

Awwww people are gonna get to KEEP THEIR MONEY.

Commies BIG MAD!!!

A faster and more efficient track toward enslavement if the working class.

The government taking their boot off the taxpayers throat is liberation......not enslavement.

If you are both over the top will your words meet at the bottom?

The best part is the folks who do this the most? Are almost always race socialist themselves......

Says someone who daily calls people commies. What's the law invocation regarding right-wing projection?

OK, explain how 75% of a sample of random numbers can be both odd and even, Turing.

What they're not is anything we don't need. Every modern industrialized state needs a bureaucracy of comparable scale.

Somehow it never does turn out to be liberation -- it didn't in the 1980s.
