If you're opposed to DOGE, does that mean you're opposed to efficiency in government?
Do you support democracy?
If so then that must mean you support the DPRK.
Government should not be efficient, at least not in what the business class calls "efficiency".
Government is the entity that performs those tasks that need to be done, but nobody wants to do. If those essential tasks can be done "efficiently", everyone is going to want to get paid for doing them.
Yes I am
I guess it depends on what is efficient.
The "inefficient" splurges, like the moon project, lead to significant scientific advances...balancing people on a knife edge when it comes to healthcare, etc.
Yes. Emphatically so.
The more efficient government is, the easier it is to usurp power.
You create a task force, review the target, make suggestions, argue them, bring the outcome to congress and then force people to act.
You don't run around firing people for not bending the knee, locking departments who you don't have control over out of their systems and install half baked command an control systems all over the money handling departments.
