White House economics reporter for The Washington Post: "Musk, Ramaswamy today gave us first "DOGE" roadmap; as I understand the key steps...:
1) Put DOGE ppl at each U.S. agency, then use "advanced technology" (AI?) to have them identify "thousands" of regulations to cut across government
2) Give Trump a list of "thousands" of regs to cut across the government, & have him approve their elimination
3) Identify "the minimum number of employees" necessary to maintain each agency's core function, which should be lower once 2 is complete. (NB: Musk oversaw ~80% reduction in X headcount)
4) Cut the federal employees - Musk/Ramaswamy call for for severance packages/ "incentives for early retirement," but we have no details
5) Cut programs where where Congress's specific spending authorization has lapsed (This category includes VA health care, NASA, antipoverty programs)
6) Approve a "temporary suspension of payments" amid "large-scale audits" (Details, specifics hugely unclear)
7) Assert POTUS authority to stop spending w/o Congressional approval by challenging 1974 budget law on impoundments
All seems to be w/o Congress"

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: “My kid will never, ever be smarter than an AI. That will never happen... My kid will never be smarter—and they’ll never know a world where PRODUCTS and services aren’t way smarter than them.”
That doesn’t sound like a future I would want for any child.
