Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to cut 75% of federal agencies, reducing them from 428 to 99, in collaboration with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), led by Vivek Ramaswamy.
Johnson’s agenda includes defunding PBS, Planned Parenthood, and curbing the “administrative state” through legislation and executive orders under Donald Trump.
Critics warn such cuts would impact jobs, healthcare, and essential services.
Backed by recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agency authority, Johnson and DOGE aim to reduce federal regulations, sparking significant debate over these drastic proposals.
Could always do the UK model (Currently being used on the NHS) The workers keep their jobs and the state/public still pay for everything but the workers are now magically actually employed by a private company that extracts profit by charging the government for stuff it was already doing without providing anything whatsoever.
That is basically what I was saying. It’s just a means to transfer money from the federal government to private corps.
