The article critiques the Trump administration's efforts to drastically cut critical civilian government programs under the pretense of efficiency. Key agencies like USAID and the Department of Education are being targeted, impacting vital services that support vulnerable populations. The campaign, dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is viewed as a means to radicalize government size without acknowledgment of human consequences. In contrast, the Pentagon remains largely unaffected, as budget cuts will not translate into real reductions, highlighting a skewed prioritization of military funding over civilian needs.
Under the guise of efficiency, the Trump administration is taking a sledgehammer to essential programs and agencies... a campaign that includes layoffs of budget experts.
The speed with which civilian programs and agencies are being slashed in the second Trump era gives away the true purpose of the Department of Government Efficiency.
So far, the only agency that seems to have escaped the ire of the DOGE is the Pentagon.
The real plan was revealed-finding savings in some parts of the Pentagon only to invest whatever money might be saved in other military programs.
