An important statement of Donald Trump to give us an idea where things are heading. A shrinking government is crucial to gain back personal sovereignty and a healthy economy.

this territory is moderated

The three biggest problems (military, social security, Medicaid) are pretty much outside the reach or a commission like this.

Sure, gut all the other shit, fire the parasites etc.

the 800 lb gorilla in the room.
My understanding... is that Social Security and Medicaid are even bigger than the military budget.

No way Trump goes after Social Security, Medicare, or the military, but I could imagine some Medicaid reform.

Any reduction would be such a radical change that I think we should get our popcorn ready and cheer it on.

They really need to. I know I know...

I will believe it once I see it.

Same. More likely is that this new department just grows and grows, like all the others.

reply

Not to forget the fourth pillar of government spending, interest on the debt which is now higher than defence spending, the DOGE will have very little leeway to do anything

Gonna keep suggesting people watch at least the first season of Yes Minister.
