Isn't that funny, that two immigrants (one of them was illegally working in the US) are running the show now.
But I've been told that Immigrants are all bringing drugs to our country and are rapists and murderers?
Republicans are all about "making ones own decisions" , "self responsibilities" and "leave government out of their lives".
Then Republicans should have no issue with Government NOT trying to keep drugs out of the USA. Because Republicans have "self responsibilities" and "can make their own decisions".
Implement something that makes them look good in the short term, while kicking the can down the road. Remember Trump ran up the deficit his last term. Doing the best for Americans has never been a priority for Trump
Trump ran up the deficit a lot less than Biden did outside of his last year dealing with COVID. You can remove Biden’s first year for COVID too, and his deficit contribution was still much higher.
We have thousands of government agencies. Millions of employees. How many people just clock in, push some paper, take long breaks, surf the internet, and clock out? I’m not blaming them. There’s very little reason to outperform in a lot of these roles. A solid paycheck and eventually a government pension is a good reason to stay in a job you don’t like.
I’m not sure how much these guys can do, but Elon certainly has experience with removing waste and redundancy. Last I heard he didn’t plan to get paid for the role, not sure if that has changed.
And we need TWO people to run the "efficiency" department? Please!
Yeah, the irony. It appears trump is purposely picking the absurd people. He’s on a vengeance tour to piss off the “libs.” The thing is that all he’s doing is screwing our nation.
Lmao. What a joke commen. Trump is the smartest and greatest president we have ever had. No wonder the highest in IQ voted for him and the majority. anyone who is a democrat that is against Trump needs to stop commenting
Trump and the republicans here have dominated you and your democrat wives hahahaha
Whether a specific function of government is wasteful is often subjective. Often those speaking out most strongly against a given department have something to gain from its dissolution. Is there some waste in government? Absolutely. But redundancy itself is not a bad thing. For example, do you want one overworked air traffic controller working a busy airport (because it’s possible and it’s cheaper) or do you want multiple controllers with overlapping jurisdictions backed up by top notch safety equipment? That’s just one of a plethora of instances where government functions correctly albeit in a way that wouldn’t be intuitive for a private corporation.
Trump and his oligarchs will be rolling out a going out of business sale on US. And they will be willing to sell anything for parts if the price is right.
This. & some of you think that will trickle down to you or you don't care because you think you're well off & that the super rich have earned everything in life even though taxes/labor law is much less restrictive than it used to be. Even if you're on here & make decent money you have nothing compared to the super rich who are going to use government to increase their wealth. You should see yourself as working class but you want to see yourself as a Musk type & do his bidding. These guys don't care about you. They're self-serving. They have no qualifications to be involved at the top level of government. We need less special interests involved in our political system. We need more help for average Americans.
Incorrect. It is a $42.5 billion program that has gone through most of the planning process through the states and is getting close to the bidding stage for companies to do the work. Within the next couple years, it should connect most of the rural population who lack broadband. Had they just had the federal government build broadband like rural electrification, it would have been done already. Conservative resistance produces complicated federal-state-private sector programs that take years to go through the application process. At any rate, they haven't spent most of that money.
The last big time cuts to government programs under the sequester in the Obama years produced economic stagnation and destroyed government services vital to millions of people. If you have gone through five month waits for IRS refunds and the sheer impossibility of getting an appointment for new or renewed passports, as I have, you'd know just how devastating it is to the basic functions of the United States government it has been to slash personnel in vital departments serving the entire American public.
This is great news for those of us sick and tired of the waste and abuse of tax payers money. How could anyone that’s not a governmental employee be against that?
Sounds like we have some government employees in this thread scared their Little job might be on the chopping block. That and some wouldn’t give trump credit for anything.
So far I'm super bullish on the Trump administration. His picks so far have been much better and aligned with an America first agenda than 2016. If this department actually does what Elon and Vivek have proposed this would be fantastic for America. Outside of defense 99% of what the federal government does is unconstitutional and restricts the American economy. Getting rid of unnecessary regulation and eliminating the beurocracy taxpayers fund would be massive for the country. The wealthiest counties in the US are all around DC despite nothing being produced there. They are leeches on the rest of the country. Good riddance.
SMH....literally everyone that worked in the trump administration the first time was either fired or refuses to work with him again. He is a complete idiot, who again is making idiotic appointments to key positions.
A Fox news host to be Sec. of Defense (who was in the National Guard).
A drunk congressman with only 2 years experience as an attorney to the US. Attorney General position and in charge of the Dept. of Justice, who is still under investigation for sex with a minor.
A low level former congresswoman to be Director of National Intelligence, who has zero experience in intel. What could go wrong.

A "mass purging of personnel" may soon be underway.
