Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to lead Trump's Department of Government Efficiency

There is nothing wrong with private sector unions, the problem is public sector unions.

Even FDR thought those were a bad idea.

Hopefully, it goes after the $200-$500 billion annual fraud, waste, and abuse. (Fraud Risk Management: 2018-2022 Data Show Federal Government Loses an Estimated $233 Billion to $521 Billion Annually to Fraud, Based on Various Risk Environments)

It loses much more than that with our current medical system based on private health insurance companies, and their huge bureaucracy and business schemes, overcharging government.

All of this also costs the US government hundreds of billions of dollars:

I'm 51, so I'm currently not eligible for Social Security or Medicare. But as Americans we rely on other benefits and infrastructure, which Capitalist elites like Trump and his ilk, would completely defund and dismantle, placing it in the hands of his fellow wealthy elites. The big-money capitalist class wants to own everything and turn the working class into renters, completely relying on them for everything.

What stopped trump was the left. I hope you're correct and he's actually not going to hurt the working class. Hopefully, he's a true fascist right-winger as the left accuses him of being. If he's actually more like Hitler, he will protect the working class and improve the economy. National socialism will actually save America economically and otherwise, but unfortunately, I don't believe Trump is a true fascist. Fascism will also save children from being injected with puberty blockers and abused. It will make abortion illegal, while protecting single mothers, preventing them from becoming homeless or not having access to healthcare. It will make sure everyone has a job, earning enough to live. If Trump was actually a fascist or National Socialist, like Hitler, I would support him even more, but unfortunately, he's not like that.

Trump wants Elon Musk to overhaul the government. Here’s what could be on the chopping block

President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk have big ambitions for making the federal government leaner and more efficient by reviewing its budget and operations from top to bottom.

www.aol.com

Don't get your leftoid panties in a wad now.

They aren't talking about mass destruction here.

Our government has been reshuffled before, and it's not a bad thing, especially this time around.

Even IF......and this is IF Trump does put any of their programs into effect, they will need to create NEW government departments to administer and regulate these new processes, departments, rules, and laws.

Federal workers MAY lose their current positions, but they will be needed in new positions in these new departments. More than likely, in order to fulfill these new processes, certain government agencies will just be transposed into these new departments altogether....so nobody loses their jobs.

Elon may have some good ideas, but he doesn't really understand how making these ideas actually work, works. And Trump has the final say.........and Trump will do what's good for THE PEOPLE, not Elons ego.

 

[LeftofLeft]

WTF do YOU know about American government efficiency? This is a messed up choice that is going to mess up our country. But you will cheer for it because you won't live in it.

Do you believe the Government is operating efficiently now?

 

[HikerGuy83]

It's pretty simple.

You pay as you go. No deficits.

Biden was on track for a 2 trillion dollar shortfall this year.

2 Trillion !!!!! In a "booming" economy.

These guys are going to make a lot of government workers unemployed. States can decide what they want afterwards.

I hope they both are carrying huge hatchets.

You see this? This is the U.S Debt Clock. This is all anyone needs to know. You're not going to have any social security in 10 years time. Your largest expense is interest on your debt!

Wake up. China is trying to bankrupt you. $36 TRILLION dollars and counting. $106k per person.
