After Donald Trump was elected, he announced that he is appointing Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new agency that will be called Department on Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The agency will be in charge of identifying redundancy and waste, and eliminating it.
Since it is a new government agency, it will require oversight, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been assigned the chair of the Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee.
Peace Offering
Greene and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) have had a fair amount of tension and drama during this session of Congress, so it would appear that Johnson is offering Greene the chair of the committee as a peace offering.
Johnson has already won the election for Speaker for the next term, so I would say this peace offering worked, as Greene and several other MAGA members of Congress were expected to give Johnson some trouble during the voting process, but it never developed.
As far as DOGE goes, our government has more than 400 agencies in the registry right now, and Trump is hoping to cut that back considerably.
Some of these agencies are redundant and responsibilities can easily be folded into other departments.
DOGE will also examine government waste, such as funding for crazy experiments that have no real-life application.
Greene’s committee will now oversee these decisions.
A Greene insider stated, “The DOGE subcommittee will support the Oversight and Accountability Committee’s mission to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.
“Its objectives include investigating wasteful spending, examining ways to reorganize federal agencies to improve efficiency, and identifying solutions to eliminate bureaucratic red tape, fostering greater prosperity for our nation and citizens.”
Greene commented on her new assignment on social media, stating, “In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired.
“But for some reason, in government, bad employees—whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed—never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change.”
Our government is the largest employer in the country, which is not exactly what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they founded a country based on a smaller federal government.
