Will Entire Agencies Be 'Deleted' Under DOGE? Here's What Ramaswamy Had to Say.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead a proposed Department of Government Efficiency “to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies”—all of which are “essential to the ‘Save America' Movement," the Republican argued. What will that look like in practice?

“Elon and I aren’t in this for the credit,” Ramaswamy told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “But I think we’re going to build the consensus to make the kind of deep cuts that haven’t been made for most of our history.” 

When Bartiromo questioned whether entire agencies will be closed, the entrepreneur said “mass reductions” will take place.

“We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright,” he said. “We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government.” 

Ramaswamy added, “I think people will be surprised by how quickly we’re able to move with some of those changes, given the legal backdrop the Supreme Court has given us.”

Pointing to the government’s 4 million civil servants, he told Bartiromo “there’s just too many of them.”

Bartiromo then wondered if there was one agency that took the top spot for being most bloated.

“President Trump’s talked extensively about areas like the Department of Education,” Ramaswamy said. “Obviously, those kinds of agencies shouldn’t even exist and should be returned to the states. But it’s a culture that’s pervaded the entire federal government, of hiring people who have no accountability to everyday Americans.”
