Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Trump-endorsed "DOGE" is a scam designed to protect other scammers

Donald Trump’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) is a classic Orwellian institution. It isn’t a governmental department, nor is it designed to promote efficiency. A genuine executive department would require an act of Congress, including the ability to overcome the Senate filibuster.

Its leadership would also require senatorial approval, and — as in some cases — assurances that it can operate in a bipartisan manner.

Instead, the DOGE is nothing but a glorified advisory committee. Considering its leadership, none of its recommendations are likely to promote governmental efficiency.

What is expected to come out of the DOGE is a plan to weaken the federal government’s regulatory capacities, especially as it relates to the financial sector.
