DOGE question


Why does the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) need 2 people at the top to run it?

Comments

  • not very efficient, eh.
    even a. lincoln remarked after being elected that 'there aren't enough tits' for all those seeking a slot in the administration.
  • They need to be prepared for the increased workload when it's repurposed as the Department of Graft Enhancement.
  • Maybe one guy negotiates the bribes, and the other guy quietly collects these "commissions".
  • As the Russians found out with some of their "committees" you need a third guy to watch the other two.
  • Look who wants in as the third guy....

    Billionaire Jeff Bezos Wants to 'Help' Trump Gut Regulations
    "Shockingly another one of the richest guys on Earth wants to defund our government and scrap regulations."

    Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday expressed his optimism about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's next term and suggested he would "help" the Republican gut regulations.

    "If we're talking about Trump, I think it's very interesting, I'm actually very optimistic this time around... I'm very hopeful about this—he seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation," Bezos told The New York Times' Andrew Ross Sorkin during the newspaper's DealBook Summit.

  • This is going to be Grace Commission 2. Very few of Musk's and Ramaswamy's recommendations will get implemented.

    Good memory, Mona. The Rayguns era also featured the likes of J. Watt trying to give away/sell off all the public lands* and turn Interior into a near-100% drill-baby-drill department; and Annie Gorsuch (ma of the current SC justice) tearing apart the EPA and protections against the poisons-everywhere interests. Difference then was a Dem Congress that didn't let them get away with much of it.

    This time it may be up to a handful of GOP senators and the fractious House, and they could well get into fights over whose ox gets gored the worst. I posted earlier that, for example, 18 GOP House reps recently were begging Speaker Mikey not to wipe out the renewables legislation since their districts were doing very well with new industry because of it.

    * I was in the middle of that one, as a young Bureau of Land Management employee. All the specialists associated with ANY resource other than oil and gas, mining, and grazing (lincluding moi) were told we wouldn't have those jobs in a few months, and our only option was to go into Realty Spec jobs to support the mission of liquidating the public lands.

    It never happened; Congress said no way.

  • Is "DOGE" correctly pronounced "Dodge-ee"?
  • Name comes from Dog-e-coin, a joke crypto that Musk also promoted. So, doggy is more appropriate. It's a double entendre.

  • @Old_Joe - if you are referring to that new faux gov dept then that's correct.

    If you're referring to the crypto coin, well I know even less about that.

    Yes- that new faux gov dept looks to be extremely "dodgy".
  • don't you blaspheme in here.
