Vivek Ramaswamy said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the soon-to-be-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will “delete” some government agencies.
Ramaswamy said, “Over the last 40 years, even conservatives, we’ve talked a big game for 40 years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government. Politicians haven’t been able to do it. And so Elon and I, we’re not politicians. We’re businessmen. We’re coming at it from the outside. Sometimes, if you go inside, you become native to the system.”
He added, “I applaud President Trump for setting this up for success. But I come back to the principle. in the early months, score quick wins through executive the action, show what can be done, and then I think we’ll lay the groundwork for Congress to have to take meaningful steps for the future. A lot of these discussions are theoretical to do cut different entitlement programs or whatever. Let’s start with the fact that there is massive waste, fraud and abuse right now. Federal contractors are really exploiting the federal government. You could take haircuts across the board, and they would be no worse off for if it.”
Host Maria Bartiromo said, “Are you going to be closing down departments?”
Ramaswamy said, “We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Both of them.
Thank God Almighty!
What does Pence say?
Nothing.
& the atf too please
Delete as many as possible, reduce as many of the rest as you can, then move the remainder out of DC.
IRS?
And the 87,000 new IRS agents.
Can they delete anything without legislation passed through congress?
Or for the time being, at least give the IRS the Bill Barr treatment on that plane in the photo?
Good question as to what Trump can do with an executive order , versus what requires an act of Congress ?
Can they delete anything without legislation passed through congress?
><
That’s my question.
Executive orders?
“ then move the remainder out of DC.”
That would ruin whatever town those agencies were moved to.
there are things that can be done by the executive ie not filling vacancies and the policy direction of the dept
but to delete it would require congressional action
its all good
I’ll go with the Department Of Homeland Security Diaper Changers and the Rio Grande Concertina Removal Unit. (The Miggy Transport Pack Mule Team).
Does DOGE have a sunset provision?
I cannot even begin to describe the happiness I feel over this!
I can’t recall that DHS and TSA were created by statute of Congress at all. IIRC, it was edict by Bush.
Bartiromo says, “Departments, like Education”
Ramaswamy replies with “\Agencies\ deleted”.
Always understand what they are saying.
Department of Education may be gutted by the deletion of a majority of its agencies.
DOGE is not tasked with eliminating Departments, just making them more efficient.
If they become internally non-operational then Trump can delete them.
All agencies created in the late ‘60s and ‘70s mainly to placate rioting hippies should be the first to go. I know the Democrats don’t realize it, but this isn’t 1974 anymore.
