DOGE feels more like political theater than political reformation to me.

I am not expecting much in results. I expect a whole lot of noise.

Enforce more govt theft? Nah

A few things can help reduce government employment, and I am saying this as an executive in a government agency.

Comprehensive government wide staffing study. Determine how many people are needed to actually do the job. Shed dead weight through attrition/early retirement offers.
Mandatory retirement dates.
Any "physical" type job requires a medical clearance. Can't keep it? Bye.
Modernize. Automate as much as possible.
Reclassify employees out of bargaining unit positions. (bonus: crush the federal unions with extreme prejudice.)
Get fired from the government? You cant get rehired. I'm terminated an employee while they are in jail and I found out they have been fired twice before..
Lower/limit/remove government red tape = increase efficiency (unions hate that word efficiency)
Analyze what federal unions are proponents for. If it isn't safety related, do the opposite.

Do away with ALL defined benefit retirement packages with the exception of military members that have actually been in combat zones. Give them all a card with 1-800 FIDELITY and a 401(k).
