Elon Musk promises that his new Department of Government Efficiency can reveal how to cut federal spending by $2 trillion per year.
Musk and his DOGE partner Vivek Ramaswamy are compiling a list of Uncle Sam’s biggest boondoggles to send to the Trump White House.
It’s a target-rich environment — and if successful, they could do much to free up US industry, boost the economy and improve the quality of life for countless Americans.
President-elect Donald Trump labeled DOGE as “the Manhattan Project of our time,” comparing it to the discovery of the atomic bomb during World War II.
Musk is seeking “super high-IQ” zealots to carry out the charge.
This is a major role reversal inside the Beltway, since DC’s “best and brightest” have become rich and powerful by pretending that government waste doesn’t exist.
DOGE should start out by targeting federal policies and edicts that directly multiply Americans’ misery.
