Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to cut 75% of federal agencies, reducing them from 428 to 99, in collaboration with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), led by Vivek Ramaswamy.
Johnson’s agenda includes defunding PBS, Planned Parenthood, and curbing the “administrative state” through legislation and executive orders under Donald Trump.
Critics warn such cuts would impact jobs, healthcare, and essential services.
Backed by recent Supreme Court rulings limiting agency authority, Johnson and DOGE aim to reduce federal regulations, sparking significant debate over these drastic proposals.
You’re probably waiting for someone smart to do something though, right? You can’t. Family job etc… not worth the risk?
There is still a good chance their plans will fail due to incompetence or greed. If that doesn’t happen, there will be a lot of people without much left to lose.
