DoGE will only work when government agencies compete
Elon Musk calls his Department for Government Efficiency (DoGE) the “wood chipper for bureaucracy.” He’s going to need much heavier machinery. The dysfunction across federal government is now near-impossible to cut through. For decades, these agencies have been allowed for decades to grow larger and become slower, more expensive and less responsive to the taxpayers they allegedly serve. When you think of a monopoly, you might picture the sluggish service at Blockbuster Video before streaming competitors drove it out of business. Perhaps you think of Detroit’s lousy cars in the 1970s, before Japanese imports captured the market and forced American manufacturers to reorganize and compete.
