DOGE and Congress Should Take a Chainsaw to Corporate Welfare

Source: Reason
by JD Tuccille

“Last month, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) founder Elon Musk swung a chainsaw at a gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference to dedicate his commitment to slashing federal spending. The prop was a gift from Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei and represented the two men’s shared vision of smaller, leaner government. The DOGE is off to a respectable start, but there’s a lot more wasteful and damaging spending that could benefit from a dose of chainsaw. Consider, for example, the grants, subsidies, and tax breaks that fall under the umbrella of corporate welfare.” (03/05/25)
