“President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is getting a lot of buzz, much of it tentatively hopeful. There’s a good reason for that: Untested though it is, the idea of handing responsibility for dismantling government bureaucracy, slashing excess regulations, and cutting wasteful expenditures to a couple of wealthy tech bros might work where nothing else has. Given that the federal government hasn’t balanced its books in decades and the budget deficit just keeps growing and adding to the national debt, it might be our only hope of avoiding catastrophe.” (11/15/24)
