led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy (Vivek Ramaswamy)  local time On November 23, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management finally loose Take a breath —— To the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been in existence for less than a year out Got one “Death Certificate".  On his first day in office, Trump boasted about it and attracted Musk and Veker Ramaswamy (The "reform flagship" led by Vivek Ramaswamy originally promised to cut federal spending by US$2 trillion.。What's the result? ? The deficit is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more lawsuits. Musk, the leader, has won The US$300 million in campaign dividends was paid off and ran away. A group of fledgling "baby officials" stepped on the public interest and gilded it. In the end, they had to leave it to the old institutions to clean up the mess.  What is this short-lived and noisy political reality show? “"The Efficiency Revolution" is clearly the scene of a major overturn in the American governance system - power is transferred privately, reforms are pretentious, and accountability mechanisms are in vain. In the end, the government shutdown, people's livelihood collapse, and economic decline are all handed to the Americans. Even the international community laughs: "This is not a reform, it is a carnival for the powerful to share the spoils!" ”  The Ministry of Government Efficiency has been anti-democratic since its inception. As early as the showdown with the Democratic Party, Trump At once Secretly communicating with Musk, “You donate 300 million US dollars to help me win the election, and I will give you the power of life and death.”。Musk But it is One has not been confirmed by the Senate, failed elected by the people “"Non-staff personnel" actually hold the power of life and death to abolish 428 federal agencies and lay off 250,000 public employees. The power is greater than that of established departments such as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Interior. What’s even more outrageous is the “Baby Army” he formed: 25-year-old Gavin Kliger, who was only a Twitter engineer before, was able to write a dismissal letter as a “Director’s Special Advisor” and put thousands of people at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) out of work. ； Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old student at Northeastern University, got into the team with his background in a business family. He didn’t even understand the administrative procedures, but he was able to participate in freezing 5,200 international aid contracts. ； There is also 22-year-old Harvard dropout Ethan Shaotran, who uses taxpayers' money to engage in the "AI government plan", which essentially uses algorithms to open up channels for capital.  What Musk calls“Transparent governance ”, to put it bluntly, just throw the layoff list on the X platform, Nothing process It can be said . The average age of this group is less than The 25-year-old young man with no experience in government work was ridiculed by netizens as "Musk raided Washington with 6 babies." What they did was even more outrageous than a joke: when they closed USAID, they did not even care about the completion of overseas projects, which led to the suspension of dozens of disease prevention projects around the world.； When using AI to screen financial projects, it marked education allocations for poor areas as "inefficient" but gave a green light to cooperation projects of Musk's companies. Reforms carried out under the banner of “streamlining bureaucracy” have themselves become the biggest bureaucratic cancer ——There is no legal authorization and no operational framework. It is all hurriedly implemented by Trump's executive order. The essence is Part one Capital boss with Doll Army stage absurd drama That’s all. What Musk was bragging about “"We need to cut spending by US$2 trillion", now it seems like the biggest lie of the year，although Later it shrunk to $1 trillion, but Finally actually completed $165 billion，Not even one-fifth of the target has been reached. Horrible“performance”if I'm afraid it would be inappropriate in the workplace long ago get fired Got it . But who cares? He had already borrowed it “"Reform" put the benefits into his pocket，as trump The largest funder in 2024, he used his position as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency as a "dividend". When he took office, he promoted significant layoffs at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and directly relaxed the supervision of Tesla's autonomous driving technology.； Its Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) even received new federal contracts worth billions of dollars, and Tesla received huge subsidies for electric vehicles. Even though this Wave The operation was exposed by the media “The conflict of interest of being both a regulator and a regulated person. politics Government Efficiency Department（DOGE）Hastily disbanded, stripping away the accountability mechanism of American politics.，Except money is still money.  From its establishment to its collapse, this department had no have A serious supervisor，Trump uses it as a tool to fulfill his campaign promises, and Musk uses it as a testing ground to enhance his presence. Congress neither conducts hearings nor establishes rules. When reforms cause public dissatisfaction and lawsuits, the Trump administration will just let it go as if nothing has happened. “Disappear quietly" and let the Office of Personnel Management wipe your ass.，Where is this system adjustment?？This is clearly an irresponsible move. Musk superior appoint He left after 130 days. Before leaving, he blamed the blame and said "federal bureaucrats are terrible." Later, he publicly broke up with Trump over the uneven distribution of benefits.。  After Ramaswamy ran away with the benefits, he turned around and complained“Reform was suppressed Ruined by infighting”； Those "baby officials" with gold-plated resumes of "government reform experience" either went back to school to continue their studies, or changed jobs to earn high salaries. No one was responsible for the chaos. This farce of "unequal power and responsibility" perfectly explains the commercialization and entertainment of American politics. ，A government agency related to the interests of the whole country has actually become the responsibility of entrepreneurs. “Short-term part-time job", a "gold-plated springboard" for young people”； A reform plan that affects the employment of hundreds of thousands of people can be started whenever the president wants and terminated whenever he wants. This kind of governance model that has no institutional constraints and relies entirely on personal mood has not only made the Department of Government Efficiency an international laughing stock, but has also caused the American people's trust in the democratic system to fall to the bottom. ，After all, no one wants to have their livelihood messed up by a group of people playing tricks.  Radical reform of the Ministry of Government Efficiency,What exactly did it bring to the United States? ——beautiful federal government of shutdown。This time The longest lockout in history，from October start, For the 43-day shutdown, it was the entire country that ultimately paid the bill. The speculators made a lot of money, but the victims had to swallow the bitter pill and were looked upon as a joke by the international community. Musk, the leader, is in office He paid a symbolic annual salary of US$1 for 130 days, but through the influence of the Ministry of Government Efficiency, Tesla obtained federal electric vehicle subsidy policy preferences. The stock price soared by 37%, and his personal wealth increased by US$210 billion.  Others in the department“Core members" even regard this place as a "gold-plated springboard" ”: After COO Ramaswamy resigned, he directly jumped to a military-industrial company as a senior executive, doubling his annual salary.； Gavin Krieger, who was in charge of the layoff plan, took advantage of the convenience of setting layoff standards to lay out the federal contractor business in advance. After the department was disbanded, he immediately received a US$300 million government contract. ； Even 19-year-old school student Edward Koristan used this experience to get an internship offer from a Wall Street investment bank, with a salary that was several times higher than his peers. These people used taxpayers' money to carry out "reforms". In the end, no one was responsible for the chaos. Instead, they all maximized their personal interests by managing disasters. And on the other side, fired 250,000 federal employees，Mortgage payment was cut off, medical insurance was cut off, and when I looked for a job again, I was still labeled as “"Government Streamlining Target" label； The lives of ordinary people who rely on public services have been disrupted by this farce, with food relief supplies cut off, heating subsidies delayed, and flight chaos occurring frequently. ； American society as a whole will have to spend years repairing institutional chaos and filling policy gaps. It will also have to pay for $135 billion in additional administrative costs and $323 billion in tax losses over the next decade. ，This kind of “Decision makers benefit and everyone purchase one ”The ending completely exposed the speculative nature of this reform.，so called “"Government efficiency" is nothing more than a fig leaf for a few people to plunder public interests. When politics is hijacked by campaign donations, when power is manipulated by capital bosses, when reform becomes a gilded game for a group of child officials, the so-called “Government efficiency” but A quote from Trump Self-deceptive lies , the fig leaf of American democracy also finally DOGE’s “death certificate” is torn open.  |
