Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aiming to streamline bureaucracy and enhance the functioning of federal agencies.
Ramaswamy and Musk Join Forces in DOGE
Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of DOGE, unveiled a plan to reform government operations and address bureaucracy. Speaking on television, Ramaswamy outlined a vision to reduce federal agencies through executive actions and set the stage for Congress to implement larger reforms.
DOGE's Plan to Cut Bureaucracy
The plan involves aggressive cost-cutting through executive actions and Congressional involvement for long-term budget reductions. The initiative reflects Trump's broader goal of reducing government waste and inefficiency. DOGE was created by President-elect Donald Trump to eliminate administrative flaws and simplify government operations.
Transparency and Accountability in DOGE
Regaining transparency and increasing accountability are key elements of DOGE’s mission. Ramaswamy highlighted the lack of consequences for poor performance in agencies like health care and defense. DOGE seeks to empower voters by influencing elected officials rather than unelected bureaucrats responsible for critical decisions.
Appointed by Trump, Ramaswamy and Musk bring a fresh perspective to DOGE, working together to realize the vision of a streamlined federal government.
