Mint Quick Edit | Trump’s push for small government looks like a dice roll

Live Mint  

Though Donald Trump kicked off his second term as US President with a slew of big-bang announcements, the outcome of his plan to reduce the government’s size looks more dicey than before. DOGE’s sweeping mandate, they allege, could hurt federal agencies and programmes that safeguard public health, consumer credit and product standards. Taking an axe to government spending was bound to be challenged, and the arguments made by the White House could set the tone for other countries inspired by the idea of downsizing. Elon Musk will run DOGE, now that Vivek Ramaswamy, who was named to co-lead it, has opted out; while the latter’s decision to run for governor of Ohio is reported as the reason, he also became a target of Trump’s “MAGA" support base for some of his opinions.
