‘DOGE-ball’: Here’s how the Trump administration hopes to slash the government
DOGE’s exact purview and authority remain somewhat unclear as of press time.
First Up: Severance packages
To limit resistance from federal employees facing the prospect of job loss, Musk has proposed granting federal employees generous severance packages to ease their transition out of public service. “We will reduce a lot of government headcount, but we’re going to give very long severances. Like two years, or something like that,” Musk said in October. “Look, just go do something else is what we’re going to say. And you’ll get paid for two years. So, you’ve got a lot of time to go and figure out something else to do.”
Firing “rogue bureaucrats”
They won’t be exclusively amicable partings, however. Trump has long expressed frustrations over the so-called “deep state,” contending that federal employees actively obstructed or slow-walked his agenda during his first term.
Moving departments out of Washington, D.C.
Among the major proposals is moving the mountain of federal agencies out of the Washington, D.C., area to both undercut lobbyists and decentralize decision-making. The prospect of a mandatory relocation outside the Beltway could also prompt an exodus of federal staff rooted in the area.
Eliminating the Department of Education
Old-fashioned spending cuts
House and Senate Republicans continue to campaign extensively on government budget cuts, with House conservatives especially highlighting the lower chamber’s “power of the purse” as a means of exercising control over federal agencies.
