I'm certain that I don't want an 'efficient' government. As my father commented once as he mailed off his federal tax payment, 'Son, just be thankful that we don't get all the government we pay for.

rehajm म्हणाले...

Musk would constructively clear out the dead wood while leaving government services intact. His chance of succeeding is zero….

M Jordan म्हणाले...

Ron Paul’s a lunatic. Embarrassingly, I used to like him.

Kevin म्हणाले...

Ron Paul would identify all the unconstitutional parts for Elon.

Rory म्हणाले...

Ron Paul was about the only major politician who never had to reverse course on either the second Gulf war or the financial bailouts.

Aggie म्हणाले...

Doctor 'No', and the world's richest man. Finally, we can realize our dream of getting quality Bond Villains into government to wreak havoc from the inside out.

Maynard म्हणाले...

Tell us why you think the way, Jordan.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

I'd be very curious to see what they could come up with...

Readering म्हणाले...

Wonder if Paul gets an electoral college vote in Texas again.

Old memes don't die. They don't even fade. Ron Paul said he doesn't want to cut just the fat out of government, he wants to cut the muscle out. It's going to be a wild four years- at minimum.

I can't keep track of all the technically smart know-it-all Republican lawmakers either. None of them have anything interesting to say.

Only Trump seems to know about reframing.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

Not sure there is much 'muscle.' Why do you think the zip codes around DC are some of the wealthiest in the country? They make nothing.

Governemnt efficiency program?

I, for one, recall both President Carter's 1980 law and VP AlGore's 1995 extensions to it, and those successes in reducing government paperwork. Every government document and form now has attached to it an extra page stating the document is in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. I'm only surprised the compliance documentation doesn't have to be added in triplicate at the beginning, middle, and end of each government document.

Best of luck , Elon & Ron.

Michael म्हणाले...

You can't reform government. It doesn't want to be reformed. Too many fighting to keep things exactly as they've always been. It's easier to replace than reform.

tim in vermont म्हणाले...

He just wants to say it, because repetition has a logic of its own.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

I want Javier Milei in charge of the Civil Service. Can that be arranged?

n.n म्हणाले...

The assumption with liberal fiscal policies and redistributive change schemes is that resources are renewable and sustainable a la Green blight and they are.

Jim at म्हणाले...

Rand? Yes. Ron? No.

Kirk Parker म्हणाले...

.

Melei is a little busy right now. Might I propose Jack the ripper instead?

Our current government is so corrupt and wastes so much money - why not talk to audit the fed?

OMG - he still alive?

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

I'm all for Musk reducing the federal workforce in roughly the same ratio as he reduced X. Maybe more. I read 75% of the federal workers never returned to their offices after Covid.

Dr.Bunkypotatohead म्हणाले...

A friend works in the Gov't Printing Office. When the COVID panic started, her manager said it was too dangerous to have everyone in the office simultaneously.
So half the crew stayed home on alternate weeks. While at home doing nothing, they received normal pay. When they came into the office every other week, they were paid double time, as it was considered dangerous.
So their monthly work hours decreased by half, and their monthly pay doubled.
All this , just to do the pointless job of committing congress's words to print.
Fire them all.

"I'm all for Musk reducing the federal workforce in roughly the same ratio as he reduced X. Maybe more."

I'd go with "maybe more". X provides a service that's useful (not so much to leftards anymore, though). The federal government? Not so much.

effinayright म्हणाले...

Joe, "muscle" is often used as a euphemism for "coercion". But I agree, government chair warmers generally destroy wealth, not create it.

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Tim and Maynard: here’s a reason: Ron Paul is a traitor. He takes money from Iran through French Marxist Thierry Maysson’s demoralization racket for dim bulbs, Voltaire Network, to tour the country on a bus with nutcase former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to make trouble for both Parties by pushing anti-Semitic truther nonsense. Of course, the MSM only cares about using this to smear all decent Right-wingers as anti-semites. I would qualify getting into bed with avowed Marxists, Iran, and Cynthia McKinney as evidence that Ron Paul and his followers are nutcases either too duped to notice reality or actually traitors themselves.

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. But like the radical wing of the anti-war protests in the Vietnam era, Ron Paul crossed the bridge from opposing war to deceptively supporting our enemies and hoping for our bloody defeat. He’s bought and paid for by Marxists and Iranians.

If they could just streamline the ability to get rid of an incompetent government employee that would be a major blow for freedom. Move the government agencies out of DC so as to expand the available hiring pool and they would create nirvana
