๐Ÿคฃ ok man. You're saying I don't hate government enough then pleading for "elected officials with oversight". The executive branch has been beyond it's scope for decades. There is a single person elected to run the executive and this time around it was Trump. He doesn't need "elected officials with oversight" to cleanup his own branch. Every dollar they cut is one less dollar I or my children have to shoulder. I am going to celebrate it.

It all exists on a sliding scale. I'm an anarchist. If I'm going to be stuck under a government I'd like some sort of at least pretend feedback between the people and that government. With DOGE the American people have no say at all, not even an illusion of say. I keep saying it over and over, Trump is mortal and 78. Do you really want to give all that power away and blindly trust every leader that may come with it not knowing who or what party for the rest of you and your children's lifetimes? Time preference isn't just about how you save your money. There is a way to cripple the government without a dictatorship in the middle, it is just slower. Given that 0% of dictatorships in history worked out well for the people, I think it is a stupid impatient gamble to risk one to end some corruption a little faster. Bitcoin is here and ready to kill fiat. We just need to stay the course. If we end up under a dictatorship that executes bitcoiners, we aren't going to get the mass adoption we need to make it happen.
You've got it backwards... Federal agencies exist under the executive branch. We elect (democracy) a president to run the executive. Past presidents have let the executive branch metastisize into a monster that no one person can understand, let alone lead. The checks and balances that are there to constrain the executive have failed leading up to this moment, resulting in the administrative state bloat/fraud. FINALLY, the ultimate check was activated and the States overwhelmingly elected a president who specifically ran on doing exactly what he's doing now; removing the cancer in the executive branch. We aren't giving power away, we're culling power that's already been abused.
