WASHINGTON - Businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will meet with House Republicans next week to discuss cuts to federal government spending, among other matters.

The move comes as the pair were tapped by President-Elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Government Effiency. Trump wrote in a statement that the new department’s focus will be to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies - Essential to the 'Save America' Movement.”

House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., shared on X, formerly Twitter, that he will host the pair on Dec. 5.

“Looking forward to hosting @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy next week on Capitol Hill to discuss major reform ideas to achieve regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings—& revive the principle of limited government! @realDonaldTrump has made this possible!” Johnson wrote.

NAR ( New Apostolic Reformation).............on how to impose there fucking religion..............maybe they can revive the "money changers" .............that there "jesus" opposed............talk about hypocrisy.............

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a controversial theological movement that combines elements of Pentecostalism and evangelicalism. NAR leaders call themselves apostles and prophets, and claim to be restoring those roles to the church. The movement's goals include ending the separation of church and state, and using spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over society.................... .

Put a bunch of self-serving, low-information, agenda-driven zealots in a room together and watch the idiocy in real time.

On more than one occasion, I have seen a group of smart competent people fail to build something. I am not fearful of the republicans building anything sustainable.

What fears me is what they can destroy; they are totally capable of that no matter the competence.
