Agreed. We need the hundred-billionaire to dismantle more of our government for absolutely no reduction in the cost of living in return!

Thank you, DOGE!

Have the executive branch impose small, incremental spending cuts across various agencies, bypassing the need for congressional approval.

Ah yes, totally what the current approach is. I understand the aim of a libertarian approach like this, but here’s the thing: we live in a society, and part of that society is having safety nets, having public works, having public spaces. We are literally a community, albeit on a large scale.

The cuts being made are not, in the words of this article, “necessary.” I can attest to it. The cuts are being haphazardly made, and sometimes aimed at things meant to protect the general public from garbage companies, as well as from general stupidity.

Ah yes, the department of government evisceration. What is the endgame? Some kind of Corporate States of America, where corporations and their owner overtly make the rules, run their own armies with full jurisdiction, and all form of unions or other forms of rights organizations are illegal?

Have fun in that dystopian hellhole of your own making.

DOGE is indeed probably not enough - politicians all over the world have ignored long term problems for short term success (being elected). Voting for big spenders (just like Trump in his first term) is basically voting against a good future for your children.
