The Washington Post ; The hidden ways Trump, DOGE are shutting down parts of the U.S. government[Kip Currier: Billionaires and millionaires doing everything they can to intentionally break our federal government is unconscionably amoral and appalling.
Think about all of the people being hurt by these actions, as highlighted in this Washington Post article. While the richest man in the world gaslights people that this will benefit them.
Now imagine all of the millions and millions of people being hurt by Trump 2.0 whose stories we don't know.]
[Excerpt]
"Across the federal government, Trump officials are halting a wide range of operations by declining to approve key funds. This unofficial hold on many activities has incapacitated many agencies’ divisions, even though they remain technically intact...
Elon Musk, who is preparing to step back from his work leading DOGE, recently told reporters at the White House that his team had remade the government in a way that would benefit Americans.
“In the grand scheme of things, I think we’ve been effective,” he said. “Not as effective as I’d like. I think we could be more effective. But we’ve made progress.”
However, Donald Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, said the Trump administration and DOGE appear to be “deliberately embedding red tape into government” by instituting “needless additional reviews of already-approved grants.”
“This makes sense if you assume that the purpose of DOGE is not to make government work better,” Moynihan said in an email, “but to stop government from working at all.”"
