Summary
Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney dismissed the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a “PR campaign,” noting it lacks statutory authority and cannot implement changes independently.
While praising Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s goals to cut bureaucracy and waste, Mulvaney emphasized DOGE must rely on Congress or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to enact reforms.
He highlighted Russ Vought, the incoming OMB Director, as important to the initiative’s success, despite Musk and Ramaswamy’s higher profiles.
All of these fools are just out to prove that “the gubment” shouldn’t be doing anything but push paper, and everything should shift to privatization. Yes, meaning them and their friends. Musk is probably going to try and make Twitter the defacto messaging platform for all government entities…yes, seriously.
GOP has been pulling this shit since the 80’s. Claim government wasteful spending, and shift tax dollars to their buddies or their own companies and call it “privatization”. It’s a scam to literally make people who live here just pay them money for doing nothing. In no way will they make anything better or save money.
Or gut government services and cry about how bad they are and that they need to be privatized
