Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Friday that he’s “thankful” for the transparent way that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are going after waste, fraud and abuse in the federal bureaucracy.
“One of the things that we should be very thankful for is that President Trump and Elon Musk are being straightforward with the American people, which is that if they cut somebody who should be coming back, they’re admitting it and they’re admitting it very publicly, and they’re bringing these people back in,” Gill said on “National Report.” “But, let me remind you, we have 2.4 million federal workers, and that’s excluding military and that’s excluding the postal service.
“Remember, we have a $37 trillion debt. We’re running $2 trillion annual deficits. We have to get this under control and the best way to do that, the best way to begin that process, is to go after a bloated, wasteful bureaucracy, and that’s exactly what President Trump and Elon Musk are doing. So, I’m excited to see our work continue and put the pedal to the floor and to get our government under control.”
