Is this all about privatization of all federal services?

[WisconIndependent]

With all of the services to be divided up between the corporations owned by the billionaires serving in the Trump administration. We already have Musk eyeing taking over some of the departments he is closing down. We know what to look forward to when they divide up the loot/services, poor service and higher prices for all.

Yes.

That’s one thing the private sector excels at…delivering poor services and high prices. Not everybody can be the DMV.

It's definitely a huge part of it -- privatization of the Federal government.

Musk is trying to turn the Federal government into Tesla and Twitter. But the purpose of government is not to make money....unless you are Musk and Trump.

It's more about proper, economical, and legal operation of government operations with minimum overlap.

Firing everyone hired in the past year is not how you do that.

The purpose of government is to waste money and it’s taken a couple hundred years to perfect it. Trump is looking to undo all of that work.

I just posted about this today. I suspect a lot of newly vacant positions will be farmed out to private companies and that DOGE will tout the cost-cutting savings and conveniently ignore the expense of the new private contracts.

Nonsense.

Really? Which ones?

Do you have any quotes of him saying that's what he wants to do?

Don't be silly.

The poorest service and the highest price is the US Government. But when you're the 50% who pay no income taxes it's a good deal for you, but not the country as a whole.

Probably.

 

[KingLeo]

Absolutely!
And it will be interesting to see how many of these private companies taking over the services of the purged government agencies have direct or indirect ties to Trump, Musk, their families, their billionaire handlers, members of the cabinet, and key Republican Congressional people.
It was not about 'government efficiency'.
It was a money grab.

Margaret Thatcher was happy to privatize everything she could lay her hands on, but however you felt about her policies, at least there was a coherent intellectual premise to them. This is just flooding the zone with shit while contracting out to the mafia waste disposal experts.

What is hard to tell is whether it serves Musk/Trump better for the government to be shut down from March 15th.
