The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is getting a test run as Vivek Ramaswamy read all 1,500+ pages of a spending bill and then gave his advice.

If this is an example of what Americans can expect from the DOGE crew, the future is looking bright. Ramaswamy took to X to advise the members of Congress to vote no on the upcoming spending bill, breaking down his reasoning after reading the full bill and speaking with “key leaders.”

Look:

“I wanted to read the full 1,500+ page bill & speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that, here’s my view: it’s full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics. If Congress wants to get serious about government efficiency, they should VOTE NO,” he wrote.

“Keeping the government open until March 14 will cost ~$380BN by itself, but the true cost of this omnibus CR is far greater due to new spending. Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year: ~$130BN. Disaster relief: $100BN. Stimulus for farmers: $10BN. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement: $8BN. The proposal adds at least 65 cents of new spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending,” Ramaswamy continued.

“The legislation will end up hurting many of the people it purports to help,” he reasoned. “Debt-fueled spending sprees may ‘feel good’ today, but it’s like showering cocaine on an addict: it’s not compassion, it’s cruelty. Farmers will see more land sold to foreign buyers when taxes inevitably rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item in our national budget.”

“Congress has known about this deadline since they created it in late September. There’s no reason why this couldn’t have gone through the standard process, instead of being rushed to a vote right before Congressmen want to go home for the holidays. The urgency is 100% manufactured & designed to avoid serious public debate,” he accused.

“The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill,” the DOGE head revealed. “There’s no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of ‘Pandemic Preparedness and Response’ policy; renewal of the much-criticized ‘Global Engagement Center,’ a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It’s indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate.”

He closed out the message by saying that DOGE has had a “warm reception on Capitol Hill” and “nearly everyone agrees we need a smaller and more streamlined federal government.” He also unequivocally stated that the “bill should fail,” though it remains to be seen if the people voting on it will take his advice.
