Spodaj je zanimiv komentar na temo “Muskovega” ministrstva za vladno učinkovitost. Ko primerjate sedanjo strukturo javnih izdatkov (in izvajalcev vezanih nanje) in Trumpov “program” (predvsem povečanje domovinske varnosti in varnosti meje), vidite, da do kakšnih bistvenih prihrankov tukaj ne bo moglo priti. Bo pa, če smo zlobni, lahko Musk malce počistil z administracijo, ki mu je do sedaj grenila življenje pri regulaciji in odobravanju subvencij.

I was making this point the other day: this is why the so-called “department of government efficiency” is very unlikely to achieve much.

Because when you look at who actually works for the US federal government the IMMENSE majority (about 80%) of people are related to defense and national/domestic security. The US is, more than any country on earth, a military and police state.

And given Trump’s and Republicans’ agenda of a stronger military, stuff like solving the border crisis, deporting illegals, etc. they’re likely to very much INCREASE jobs in those areas, not decrease. Hard to see the U.S. ending up with a much smaller army under a Trump administration…

So if 80% of the government is essentially out of bounds for DOGE right from the get go, it’s largely pointless initiative from the standpoint of broad government efficiency.
