DOGE - FedAgency Version
How to effectively remove agencies or operations in the US Government
Ref: https://www.usaspending.gov/agency
Mission:
The DOGE aims to smartly cut U.S. government agencies to:
Save taxpayer money.
Protect citizens from rogue actors spending tax dollars for influence.
Eliminate corruption while preserving essential services and good personnel.
Key Principles:
Spending vs. Benefit Delivered: Evaluate programs based on their tangible value to taxpayers.
Preserving Alternatives: Ensure services can still be accessed through commercial providers, state governments, or other means.
Protecting Talent: Retain or reassign good people instead of losing valuable expertise.
Implementation Steps:
Define clear criteria for cuts based on cost-efficiency, public need, and the potential for corruption.
Use measurable metrics like operational data and stakeholder feedback to guide decisions.
Communicate decisions transparently, offering solutions for displaced services or staff.
Take action.
The Payoff:
Tangible savings for taxpayers.
A government that’s leaner, more effective, and corruption-resistant.
Building trust by showing leadership in responsible reform.
