What is the Department of Government Efficiency?
The new president of the USA, Donald Trump, has an idea. He wants to create a new department called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
This department would work with the White House to make the government better and faster, like a smart business.
The goal is to make the government easier to work with. The DOGE will try to simplify rules, save money, and improve the government's efficiency. This means less waste, fewer confusing rules, and more focus on important things.
Who will lead this department?
Two famous people will help lead DOGE. One is Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla. The other is Vivek Ramaswamy, a businessman who once ran for president.
Donald Trump believes they can help make the government work better and faster by 2026.
But there’s a problem. Congress has to say “yes” to the plan. They also control how the government spends money. If they don’t agree, the department may not happen.
Raises questions about fairness.
Some people worry about having business leaders in charge. Elon Musk owns companies that work with the government, so some people think he might make decisions that help his companies, not the country.
Vivek Ramaswamy wants to close some government departments. This could make some people lose their jobs.
Elon Musk wants to get rid of some rules that stop businesses from growing. He also said that if employees are not needed, they could be fired.
But here’s the big question: Should businessmen lead a government department? Or should government experts be in charge?
