DOGE: Do We Need Another Government Department?

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are teaming up for a potentially game-changing move under the Trump administration—DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. But here’s the kicker: it’s not a typical government agency. It’s an initiative that aims to dismantle the bloated, wasteful bureaucracy that’s strangling America’s federal system. The mission? Slash regulations, cut wasteful spending, and restructure agencies that have been running amok for decades.

Now, we’ve all heard the talk about shrinking government. But here’s the hard truth: we’ve seen “reforms” before that ended up doing little more than adding more layers to the mess. So, do we really need another government department—even if it’s headed by one of the most visionary entrepreneurs on the planet?

Sure, Musk has revolutionized industries, but can he really fix Washington? The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE (yes, named after the meme cryptocurrency), might sound like a joke, but with Trump backing it, this could be more than just another political stunt. This could be the chance to finally tackle the inefficiency and waste that’s crippling our federal system. Or it could just be another massive flop.

Let’s not kid ourselves—if anyone can actually pull it off, it’s Musk. Or is it? Tune in to hear James Broughel, Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, break down whether this is a brilliant reform or another big-government trap.
