“When it comes to recommendations on how to ‘dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies,’ the difference between your conversation with a neighbor and DOGE’s recommendations comes down, mostly, to who’s buying the coffee donuts consumed during the talking. DOGE may get some office space, a small staff, and a tiny budget to cover the coffee and donuts, but authority to make anything happen? Nope. We’ve been here before, many times. History is littered with commissions and advisory committees. They’re among politicians’ favorite tools for convincing you they’re going to do things they have no intention of actually doing.” (11/24/24)
