The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a brainchild of our newly inaugurated President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, stands as a beacon of hope for those of us who have long clamored for a government that not only adheres to the Constitution but also promotes the financial prudence that our nation desperately requires. Yet there’s a notable absence that needs remedy: that of Ron Paul.
For decades, the former congressman has been the unwavering voice of fiscal conservatism, liberty, and government accountability. His influence in the liberty movement is undeniable, and his principles have resonated with millions, myself included. That is why I asked Paul on my podcast on X the Thursday before the election if he would help DOGE to cut government. His affirmative answer went viral and caused a weekend-long surge of libertarians and Ron Paul fans saying they were not going to vote before but that they would now “crawl through glass” at the chance of seeing Ron Paul cut spending with Elon.
Elon said he “would love to have Ron Paul join” and posted a series of memes and hype posts generating hundreds of millions of views on the idea. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire made headlines when it endorsed Trump, citing the Ron Paul at DOGE idea as a key factor in their decision. The chance of Ron Paul being a DOGE advisor played a historically significant role in the presidential victory of Donald Trump.

Let us face the facts; Ron Paul is 89. and too old to shoulder a plutonium weighted challenge such as this.
It would only work if someone like Elon would find the right mix of computer experts to work as a (DOGE)team under Ron’s direction. That, I could see happening.
Wouldn’t that be a hoot! It would give them more credibility even though they don’t need any more.

Ron Paul is well past his ‘sell by date’
“”It would give them more credibility even though they don’t need any more.””
Who is THEY? We don’t know anything about THEIR credibility. It would be like promoting a person on a job they’ve had for a couple of days. It looked more promising when Ramaswamy was part of the team IMO...Too many people counting their chickens before they’re hatched!
Ron Paul was the good guy and fought the good fight and got nowhere no matter how much effort he put in the fight...
Age doesn’t matter. As long as his mind is sharp, give him some smart youngsters- let him call the plays while they mine the data.

Ron Paul is well beyond his sell date. Thanks for your service. I’m glad you lived long enough to see this.
