    If you’re opposed to DOGE, does that mean you’re opposed to efficiency in government?

      Yes. Emphatically so.

      The more efficient government is, the easier it is to usurp power.

      Government should not be efficient, at least not in what the business class calls “efficiency”.

      Government is the entity that performs those tasks that need to be done, but nobody wants to do. If those essential tasks can be done “efficiently”, everyone is going to want to get paid for doing them.
