    EXCERPT:

    ROLLINS: “I am not sure on the last part. I am — I would welcome DOGE to be involved. I think anytime that the government and massive government programs like the SNAP program, which is our food stamp program, anytime you can get sort of a business perspective on, are we hitting our goals, what are the metrics, what is the metric for success, oftentimes these government programs are started with the idea that you’re going to help people. It’s not a handout, it’s a hand-up. And then years later, the government — the programs are even bigger and you’ve got more people on them and, are we really giving people a hand-up or is it instead a handout? So if we can have, you know, a whole other group of really smart people looking at SNAP and other programs at USDA that will allow us to ensure, what are our metrics for success? Are we meeting those metrics for success?”
