    So there has to be a new department - headed by TWO different people that’s going to be dealing with efficiency in the government?

    This has to be the dumbest timeline

    Why does the media just gobble this up? It takes an act of Congress to make a new department. DOGE is bullshit.

    A second department, no less, to improve efficiency in the government.

    The GAO exists.

    Are two efficiency offices more efficient than one?

    “Daunting?” Nah. They’ll have fun playing pretend while they use their non-existent authority to try to bully others to let them further enrich themselves.Their success won’t be measured in efficiency, but in lulz.

      There was a time when I’d agree with you. But right now I don’t see any difference between pissing away 10% of your money on “inefficiency” and giving it to a capitalist and labeling it profit, instead.

        The main difference is that you have a small say in the “inefficiency”, whereas the capitalist acts without you having any say.
