GOP Rep. Lawler: DOGE Is Seeking to Ensure that Every Agency and Department Is Effectively Doing Their Job

RUSH EXCERPT:
LAWLER: "Look. I don’t know how that’s necessarily feasible. Obviously a lot of federal employees are under a union contract, but there’s no question as the department of government efficiency moves ahead what they are seeking to do is ensure that every agency and department is effectively and fushtly doing their job. With a $7 trillion budget, there is no question that, you know, our government has become bloated, and in many respects, in efficient, and so the task at hand obviously for Elon Musk and the department of government efficiency at the direction of President Trump, is to find efficienies in savings, and make sure that our federal work force is doing their jobs and doing it effectively. We have many, many, many people who do a phenomenal job on behalf of the American people, but I think ultimately in any government when a new administration comes in, whether it’s a state government, whether it’s a local government, and I’ve served at every level of government, you know, a new administration is always going to do a review and try to find efficiencies across the board. When you’re staring down a $36 trillion in debt and counting, you know, obviously something has to — has to give, and I think that’s what we’re seeing right now."
