  • Republican lawmakers are introducing a package of bills to improve government efficiency as businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy spearhead President-elect Donald Trump's advisory commission on curtailing government waste.

The article discusses a series of legislative efforts by Republican lawmakers aimed at reducing the size and cost of the federal workforce. Key points include bills introduced by Rep. Ralph Norman and Sen. Marsha Blackburn to cut federal employee salaries by 50% and reduce the federal workforce by 10%, respectively. These proposals come amidst discussions on government efficiency, highlighted by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's involvement in a new initiative called the "America First Policy Institute." This initiative focuses on streamlining government operations, with Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate, now leading a think tank to promote these reforms. The article also mentions the broader context of political debates over government spending and efficiency, with critics arguing that such cuts could undermine government functionality.
