Vivek Ramaswamy Indicates Massive Government Job Cuts in US

Washington: Entrepreneur-turned politician Vivek Ramaswamy, who along with Tesla owner Elon Musk has been nominated in-charge of Department of Government Efficiency, has indicated a massive cut in federal government jobs in United States.

"Elon Musk and I are in a position to start mass deportations of millions of unelected federal bureaucrats out of DC bureaucracy. That, too, is how we're going to save this country," Ramaswamy, an Indian American, said at an event in Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Thursday.

"I don't know if you've got to know Elon yet, but he doesn't bring a chisel. He brings a chainsaw. We are going to be taking it to that bureaucracy. It's going to be a lot of fun,” he said.

“We've been taught to believe over last four years that we have become a nation in decline, that we're at end of ancient Roman Empire. All we have is to fight over scraps of some shrinking pie. I don't think we have to stay as that nation in decline. I think with what happened last week, we're back to being a nation in our ascent. A nation whose best days are actually still ahe of us,” Ramaswamy said.

"It is going to be morning in America, start of a new dawn, start of a country where our kids are going to grow up and we're going to tell m and mean it, that you get ahe in United States again with your own hard work and commitment and dedication, that you're free to speak your mind at every step of way, that best person gets job regardless of ir colour," he said.

Meanwhile, Musk and Ramaswamy announced that y will livestream every week to update American public on progress of works by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"Our goal is to shave size of government and to be as transparent as possible with public. Weekly 'Dogecasts' will start soon," Ramaswamy said.

“DOGE's job is to create a government of a size and scope that our Founders would be proud of. Elon Musk and I look forward to fulfilling mandate given to us by President Trump,” he said.

Ramaswamy, however, argued that too much bureaucracy means less innovation and higher costs. "That’s a real problem with US Food and Drug ministration (FDA), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and countless or 3-letter agencies," he said, ding, "y are utterly agnostic to how ir daily decisions stifle new inventions and impose costs that deter growth." "We are assembling brightest minds in country. This is equivalent of a modern Manhattan Project. I think major problem holding our country back is a federal bureaucracy. Target that cost, save money, restore self-governance," Ramaswamy said.
