Ramaswamy also floated a controversial idea for reducing staff, suggesting that employees could be randomly selected for termination based on their Social Security numbers. In a thought experiment, he proposed that workers with even-numbered Social Security digits could be dismissed on Trump’s first day in office, avoiding potential discrimination lawsuits.

That should do wonders for government efficiency!

 

I suppose you will always get bat<deleted> crazy ideas floating around on the fringes of a new administration, but unusual for them to come from the people in charge of the new department!

I am not an expert on the United States Constitution (that bit appears to be missing from my copy of the bible - I blame those bloody Chinese printers); but there again actually I am not convinced that many others posting here are, including some of the most enthusiastic supporters of Mr Trump!

 

However, it is my understanding that matters of funding, staffing and management of Federal Agencies, including the creation of new government departments, are firmly in the hands of Congress, which rather reduces the status of Messrs Musk and Ramaswamy to the status of lobbyists!

They take jobs that Americans don't want obviously.

repeat these words three times ( no.... not thank you  3x like yingluck )  ...     Illegal Immigrants are criminals

and if that's not enough for you ...please ask the parents of Laken Hope Riley what they think.

My wife migrated from Thailand to the US.. and did it legally .. and became a Naturalized citizen ..

 

people entering and reentering the United States without permission are known as Sections 1325 ("illegal entry") and 1326 ("illegal reentry") of Chapter 8 of the U.S. Code. 

possible deterrents ? shot on site , fed to the gators, open a holding pen in Antartica

^ This!

 

While there is no doubt that government bloat and inefficiencies could be cut, the kinds of drastic, wholesale deletions of complete government departments will lead to future health, environmental and financial disasters.  The US Government is far from perfect, but it does work to keep children and working people safe and to restrain rapacious business practices.

 

I believe that we are saving money now only to have to spend it in the future, cleaning up the mess the next 4 years will leave behind.

For the time being, it's just a show for the gullible and ignorant.

Currently, the share of telework in the Federal administration is lowe than in the private sector.

I have seen a few restructuring and redundancy schemes occurring. It's usually the best ones who leave, because they can easily find another job.

 

If they do it in the way they are presenting it, it will be a big mess. And, of course, the MAGA whiners will blame the deep state for it!

And so Americans, by your definitions, are all illegal immigrants. I don't remember any of the early Americans asking native Americans for permission to steal their land.

Violent criminals? There is a movie called Soldier Blue. Watch it to find out what illegal immigrants did to the natives.

A smaller state, free speech, drill baby drill, deport immigrants. 

 

I'm so jealous of the US right now. You have Trump and Musk, we have Starmer and Lammy. 

 

Pray for us. 

Amen to that!

Just close the Department of Education for a start. It's not only useless, it's actually counterproductive. 

Im all for taking from one to shore up another!

 

Social Security could use the  savings as a result from cuts at other bloated agencies!

Elon will leave no notebook untouched,

he’ll camp out for weeks with his hired  accessor’s . Any state & local government agencies collecting federal funds will feel like they have been groped over.

The dems & their failed activist pretending to be journalists will scream at the devastation.
Remember when Elon went in with a kitchen sink to clean up Twitter, for months ,the snowflakes hemed & hawed  over his cuts. I wondered how they’re managing now.
