Will DOGE get the job done? I am not holding my breath.
No they wont’ Vivek blew himself up and Andreesen is a one-dimensional idiot who knows nothing about what the government does and what it should do. The guy thinks what he wants is MORE bureaucrats sitting at their desks 24/7 and wants to give MORE power to the guys who are incharge of petty bureaucracy. There are real jobs in government that have to do with the hard work of figuring out how to execute policy for the good of the nation. E.g. what will war look like, what weapons do we need and how do we get them. For every one of those guys there are ten functional idiots who have jobs in the bureaucracy that get in the way. Andreesen thinks is just guys sitting at a desk coding all day. More desk more coding. That isn’t the job and things don’t work that way.
“Will DOGE get the job done? I am not holding my breath.”
All it will take for DOGE to be successful is for two people who hold no official position in government, who “work” for an officially non-existent government office, to usurp the spending powers of Congress. I think there might be a problem.
“DOGE”
Ask not what the federal government can get rid of, but what it needs to have.
