I hope this message spreads to European countries as well. We have a big problem with oversized governments with useless positions that serve as nothing but paychecks to political allies.
He’s so responsive and direct. I know some one who isn’t qualified & recently got hired by DHS working remotely 100%…she receives EBT funds when she lives in a million $ home & drives luxury cars. Her and her husband used illegal substances and she applied to reduced lunch so her kid only pays $5 for AP exams when I have to pay $92 per AP exam for my kid. The person thinks they have the right to do because they pay taxes and DOE doesn’t even verified income. How messed up is our system
education system need to be stay with state or county and federal government need to act like bank where county can get a education grant until it improved its economic.
I’m still trying to figure out what that department does. I even went to their website _We ensure equal access to education_ nope _supplement & complement states_ no explanation beyond this _Encourage the increased involvement of the public, parents, and students in Federal education programs_ such as? _Improve the quality of education_ how? That’s from their website? They can’t even tell me what they do.
I really pray Vivek is able to do this!! We need bold moves like this, while making sure our most vulnerable that are often forgotten about are helped further - not harmed in the process. We’ve been needing this for such a long time. I’m so grateful for people like you Vivek, willing to lead in a constructive way. Thank you sir for the challenging task you’re willing to undertake. I’ll be praying every day, the doors will open to allow this to happen in a real impactful & positive way. No more same as businesses usual. Big bold change is exactly what’s needed ❤🙏🏼💯
Vivek is such a stand up act! A self made billionaire that is taking the positions that his put in to better the country! He obviously humbled himself to do what is best for the country! I'm so so impressed with Vivek! The only reason why he would not get the votes as POTUS is because his honest about what religion he follows! The US got burned by Obama claiming to be a Christian when he actually became the first Muslim, bisexual, Black POTUS.... 😂. Vivek is not a controlled opposition like Obama is! It was just so unlucky that Vivek ran at a time like this! I have so much respect for Vivek and the things he is doing and saying for the US! Thank you and your family for everything you are doing and have done!!! I'm so appreciative of you and the Trump administration!
Awesomeness Vivek im supporting this absolutely obvious problem Government this large could never be a peoples government and wasn't supposed to be huge and is the main reason the states have lost almost all power to be sovereign
Vivek, Many years ago Edward Deming visited Japan which was at the time in economic doldrums. He was engaged for efficiency and continuous improvement initiative. In five years Japan recovered dramatically. Edward Deming was hailed as the father of Japanese economic recovery. His theory was simple: improve quality while cutting costs. However, US Government needs dramatic changes as a matter of urgency if it is to transform into self governance.
Praise to God Almighty!!!!'m favoured, $34k every 3weeks! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless 🇺🇸
There’s unused federal buildings and properties all over the USA. Move the depts near the people they serve. Politicians should not receive comps for service.
We are depending on Trump's inner circle to stay true to their word. If y'all can do this, and four years later we are back on track and looking in the face of prosperity, we can keep this train going...long into the future. =) By the time my 12yo turns 18 I want him to have an America he can be proud of, not feel ashamed of.
People may support downsizing the government but the courts/legal system may not, since they may have special interests in sustaining a bloated bureaucracy, and to show they are "independent".
It's not just the administrative state.. the waste and abuse goes right down to NAF employees that barely show up.. take naps on shift in their cars.. wander around not doing anything and for some reason, can't be fired.
I'm 'older' ... a retired Government Engineer Contractor ... if you are looking for individuals who are willing to work part-time, for free, ... I volunteer. Thank you for what you do.
the government cannot fire any worker from the fbi. They can however reduce the fbi workforce to 3 people if they see fit. Later on or even the following week they can increase the workforce employing whoever they wish. These cabinet members are ruthless and know every loophole they can use to advantage.
Standardize tests for reading, writing, arithmetic and LOGIC. Just do a voucher program and let states run schools. We need COMPETITION and ACCOUNTABILITY.
First and foremost, if you fail an audit, any accountable money is withdraw from the next budget. If they really need it, they’ll know where it’s going or where it’s missing next time
Honestly, there are so many other agencies that waste lots of.tax payers' money. Well I will.wait for 2025.to.see the changes that could make things better.
Talks a good game. Here's more accurate information. Civilian Federal Employees 2.9 million Active Duty Military 1.34 million National Guard and Reserve 800,000 Total 5.24 Million Contractors and Other Federally Affiliated Workers 3.7 million Grand Total 8.74 million
Anchor Politicians gotta go. If your government office can balance bank statements and we citizens are required to. You’re Fired Get ready for your audit big government! God bless Trump
You and Elon are the right persons at the right time in history. Your time as president is coming in the future, but first Elon and yourself must come through with this downsizing. If you two are successful your future is unlimited and we all will be there to support you !!
Will DOGE have a hotline to "We the people"? And will they go after energy companies like DTE. They control the utility commission (what a joke) After years of neglect to the infrastructure and millions of dollars of profit, the utility commission okayed them to raise the cost. They hold their customers hostage. All utilities should be non-profit.
As much as I love Trump, I was planning on voting for Vivek in the primaries had he made it to my state, and do so solely because of his downsizing agenda
The government won't downsize because politicians want votes. The think tank created by Ramaswamy will get funding from government grants, which will cause more inflation.
It's funny that people think all the money is being spent on employees salaries, yes there's some unnecessary positions that have been created out of thin air. The budget for employees salary accounts for 4% of the total annual spending budget. It's clear there's a huge lack of knowledge, if you want to save money then they need to go after the federal contractors that are raking the government over the coals charging 5-10x normal prices. Most people also don't know that the government in it's current state is mandated to contract out roughly 30% of their work to these contractors that are robbing them blind. Federal employees make substantially less money than the private sector... you're going to have to look much higher than salaries if you really want to save money because all this will do is put more families out of work and save very little. IMO cut the made up jobs, reduce employment through attrition and start looking at procurement and contractors for the big money.
Vivek, VA, DoD, and the Post Office are the agencies that employ the most people. Most of those employees sort and carry mail, provide nursing, and work at military bases away from DC. SSI, FDA, and NIH are in Maryland. CDC is in Atlanta. The Pentagon is in Virginia, but close to DC. If you want to move some of DoD out of The Pentagon, that's kind of an interesting idea, but not something you can do at the snap of your fingers. Have a GIS provider map federal employment by geography to supplement your analysis.
Lets just say this follows the Dr. Suess book where he has the bee watcher whi watches the bees to make sure they do the work. But the bees still werent producing as much as they would like so they hired watchers to watch the bee watches who watches the bees who were working. But there still wasnt any change in the production of the bees so they hired more watchers to watch the bee watcher watchers who watched the bees 🤣🤣 new slogan "bee watcher watcher deletion program" 🤣🤣👍
Regardless of your political affiliation, everyone should be happy that finally someone is going to identify and eliminate the huge waste of taxpayer funds in government. This is long overdue. I would include some Democrats on this team just so both parties can claim victory for eliminating waste and not have one side trying to undermine the other in typical partisan fashion.
You waste too much time - I counted roughly 15 seconds - it's less the quantity as much as the quality, Vivek - pick it up, you have better in you - it's a sheer cliff of values, and the financial indicators come from here.
Many government positions go months without being filled yet the work manages to get done. Start by eliminating all positions that have ever gone 6 months without being filled. Most other positions could be replaced with contract employees to eliminate unfunded pension obligations and other union mandates. The rest can be reduced by merging similar departments and job titles. Most government employees "work" less than 1 hour per day, any excess time is filled with mostly useless meetings and office gossip. 85-90% is waste and the jobs aren't fulfilling - leading to unhappy workers that _feel_ overworked because the "work" they do is mostly useless
Data please. I've worked as a military member, in private industry and as a government employee; I've worked with good employees and bad in each setting. 80% of the work is done by 20% of the staff, people are people not matter where they work....go figure?
@thomasyaw4798 Only anecdotal data acquired as an AROICC (construction manager) and FMFS director (facilities manager) along the gulf coast and prior enlisted experience before being commissioned as well as cross branch exposure during flight school and volunteer IA orders. People are promoted or advanced more on likability than productivity. Also true in private sector to a lesser extent. Productivity went up during government shutdowns - not true in private sector. Much time is wasted on shifting data that nobody looks at using primitive methods to counter some previous incident that cost $X but costs $10X to pretend to monitor it. More time is wasted with unnecessary, redundant group emails to which everyone hits reply-all and spends the next half hour dragging old emails to a save folder because even though they are required to maintain them, the infrastructure only supports 50Mb on the server. Those same infrastructure limitations causes important time sensitive documents to need to be delivered by insecure physical media in person or by courier or using government vehicles to retrieve them I could go on for hours about all the useless meetings and training and those inefficiencies but those may have changed with zoom (or similar extremely expensive and even less secure alternatives) The simple fact that military personnel and civilian contractors are not eligible for waste, fraud and abuse awards could account for some of the culture of inefficiencies... They get paid the same whether they are working or in a "hurry up and wait" loop. There's no incentive for improvement.
I hope this message spreads to European countries as well. We have a big problem with oversized governments with useless positions that serve as nothing but paychecks to political allies.
Guam needs this
Nope Europe is where ideas go to die. Not happening in Europe, the rot is too deep and not enough freedom of speech 😂
Australia public service also constipated.

Unbelievable how long the education system has failed Americans without accountability..
education system need to be stay with state or county and federal government need to act like bank where county can get a education grant until it improved its economic.
I’m still trying to figure out what that department does. I even went to their website

Crisp, and straight to answer, yes or no, first! Rare, but need fully welcome trait, and about damn time.
Love Vivek! He will do excellent job.
Thank you the Vivek

Agree with you 💯
"Exposing the extent of the rot..." 👍👍👍
This is the one thing I agree with. Get rid of the bureaucracy! They sit there unaccountable, can’t be fired and do whatever they want.
Also investigate, arrest and stop funding Abortions, PBS, any other media, FCC, Education, Motor Vehicle Division, etcetera.
God Bless you Sir!! ❤🇺🇸
Biden & Co. still have 2 months... On interviews like these, I would not divulge much if I were you...
I agree. It’s as if they are making sure the “opposing side” is informed well ahead of time. “THEY” wouldn’t do the same. That’s guaranteed!
@@craigbucl7752 Aint gonna matter!!!! president has the power to remove anyone he wants from administrative branch. that includes intel agencies
God bless you V R & all truth fighters
Love Brilliant Vivek !
Shut down the ATF!
Clean up the swamp. All the ones that cant answer the questions when asked out😂😂
Love Vivek!🇺🇸🙏,,,,, he is Future President of the United!!,, it’s on the way,,,,,,

I was routing for Vivek the entire time
Now he can shine baby let’s goooo!!!
Amen brother!
I have a ton of hope that this is gonna succeed. Let's slim down the government and reduce spending
Spoke the unemployment rate on the swamp to 85%!!!!!
Awesomeness Vivek im supporting this absolutely obvious problem Government this large could never be a peoples government and wasn't supposed to be huge and is the main reason the states have lost almost all power to be sovereign
We have to get back to fairness, before moving forward again.
Bravo Vivek!!!

I really feel your pain, when I was even almost down my God sent to me Laura Lee Fair services cryp to me and changed the game automatically
Great, I just Googled her info, and everything about her is pretty great and awesome.
Make them accountable. 💓
There’s unused federal buildings and properties all over the USA. Move the depts near the people they serve. Politicians should not receive comps for service.

RFK Jr talked about department pushback. OK. Relocate their offices in Jabipp.

Dont give all of your plans away, Vivek. The ones getting millions, to study whether blue or green toilet paper is more popular are listening.
Godspeed Vivek!

Tell everyone to go home and we'll call you if we need you
They don't even go into the office! Most these bureaucrats still WFH from the pandemic.
I'm 'older' ... a retired Government Engineer Contractor ... if you are looking for individuals who are willing to work part-time, for free, ... I volunteer. Thank you for what you do.
I like how mainland Turkey has sunk into the ocean behind Vivek. And I don’t even want to know what is going on with Alaska on the other side.
4 million government workers 😮
4 million government employees but only 2 million "workers" at best. 😏
Most are “lazy” their jobs are so easy it’s like taking free money
The guy is brilliant.
TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS!!
And Senate & Supreme Court Justices
Yes! Cut cut cut.
2 million sounds really low, but 2 million positions gone is a good start.
the government cannot fire any worker from the fbi. They can however reduce the fbi workforce to 3 people if they see fit. Later on or even the following week they can increase the workforce employing whoever they wish. These cabinet members are ruthless and know every loophole they can use to advantage.
