Musk and Ramaswamy Push DOGE Plan for Government Efficiency on Capitol Hill
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are advocating for a new "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) under President-elect Donald Trump, proposing significant cuts to the federal workforce and spending. Their plan includes a 75% reduction in federal employees and a $2 trillion cut in spending, targeting agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Despite some congressional support, the proposals face challenges due to the nature of federal spending and potential resistance from within the bureaucracy. Critics warn that aggressive cuts could harm essential government functions.
