But the doge we got
was one that couldn't even count, that put information sometimes that was wrong by three orders of magnitude on its own website, then erased its own information because they didn't believe in the transparency.
The Doge we got sent an email to every air traffic controller in the country
during an air traffic controller shortage and suggested they quit being an air traffic controller and get something, quote, more productive to do in the private sector.
Only later on to be told, actually, that was a mistake.
The doge we got apparently wasn't supposed to send that information to all the air traffic controllers.
Whoops.
The doge we got fired people in charge of making sure our nuclear weapons were safe.
and in charge of making sure that bird flu didn't spread.
And then, whoops, tried to hire him back in a hurry.
So there's a huge difference between the doge we got and the doge we could have had.
But if you're talking about in principle, should we unleash really smart, talented people with an outside-in perspective and a free hand to evaluate what is working and where we're not getting value for our money in government?
You and I would be in violent agreement
that that's a good idea and there's no better place to find some of those opportunities than the things that the federal government does because it just does, or because there was a good reason once upon a time, but that reason has expired, or maybe the reason wasn't that good to begin with.
First of all, the debt path we're on is not sustainable.
And that's one area where you're right, neither party has covered themselves in glory.
And it's an area where I would part with some in my own party.
I think for too long, you've heard the message from
Democrats is basically debt doesn't matter or there's no such thing.
And there was a moment when this felt a little more credible.
