> The truth is that a Department of Government Efficiency is a really good idea.<p>Lost me on this “truth”.<p>Yes, it is important to have oversight and ensure funds are spent well and on what they should be spent on. But DOGE is not that, it’s so clearly incompetent at that. It’s Musk and a bunch of techies thinking they know best how to do things.<p>They act, as par for the course for tech, that the first time they have an idea is the first time anyone’s had it. A department of government efficiency already exists, it’s called the Government Accountability Office.
