How to make Elon Musks budget-slashing dreams come true - The
Economist (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=96015&nl=daily]
ELON MUSK and Vivek Ramaswamy are keen to whip the American government
into shape. On November 14th their newly created Department of
Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced it wants to hire super-high-IQ
small-government revolutionaries to get to work on cost-cutting. It is
easy to ridicule the enterprise. Mr Musk has talked of ripping $2trn
out of the federal budget; a cut of that magnitude, done swiftly,
would leave public offices incapable of performing many basic
functions and plunge the economy into a recession. Moreover, Donald
Trump has given DOGE less than two years to get the job done. And the
entity is a small advisory body, not an actual department, with a name
inspired by a joke cryptocurrency.

How to make Elon Musks budget-slashing dreams come true - The
Economist (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=96015&nl=daily]
ELON MUSK and Vivek Ramaswamy are keen to whip the American government
into shape. On November 14th their newly created Department of
Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced it wants to hire super-high-IQ
small-government revolutionaries to get to work on cost-cutting. It is
easy to ridicule the enterprise. Mr Musk has talked of ripping $2trn
out of the federal budget; a cut of that magnitude, done swiftly,
would leave public offices incapable of performing many basic
functions and plunge the economy into a recession. Moreover, Donald
Trump has given DOGE less than two years to get the job done. And the
entity is a small advisory body, not an actual department, with a name
inspired by a joke cryptocurrency.
