Elon's Real Goal at DOGE and How to Fix the Debt

  • サマリー

  • This week, Noah Smith and Erik Torenberg dive into recent economic developments, exploring 'Doge'—a term for reducing government waste promoted by Elon Musk and the Trump administration—along with its ideological goals, fiscal impact, and effects on executive power, budget deficits, healthcare, social security, and government efficiency. -- 🙏 Help shape our show by taking our quick listener survey at https://bit.ly/TurpentinePulse. -- Highlights from the Episode: Doge is perceived as a mechanism for cutting government waste. Noah argues that while Doge (Department of Government Efficiency) is publicly presented as a cost-cutting initiative, it's primarily an ideological project aimed at reducing "woke" initiatives in government. As zero-interest debt gets rolled over at higher rates (around 4%), interest costs are reaching historic highs as a percentage of GDP. Austerity measures will likely involve difficult choices for the middle class. Healthcare spending in the U.S. is disproportionately high compared to other wealthy nations. Government efficiency is harder to measure than corporate efficiency due to its multiple, often conflicting objectives, the influence of democratic processes, and congressional oversight, which complicates decision-making about program value. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.
