Fixing the federal bureaucracy is critical to the future health of our government and of our nation, so I hope DOGE succeeds. But Musk might discover that it’s easier to start a colony on Mar…
There are a few ways the government could actually be sped up. Automating and standardising tasks, eliminating arcane barriers (mostly designed to make the life of the poor and disabled as hard as possible) or improving documentation practices so that it is easier for different parts of the government to cooperate.
Unfortunately, all of these changes will only really improve the quality of government services rather than presenting an opportunity to cut them away. So they are out.

Yeah amazing how reducing means testing is never discussed as a way to make government more efficient.
