STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWASHINGTON - Vivek Ramaswamy joined a growing chorus of 2024 Republican presidential candidates vowing to radically reduce the size and function of the U.S. government if elected next year, calling on Wednesday for a “revolution” that will hold the federal bureaucracy “accountable.”
Ramaswamy shares the same mistrust of the “deep state,” a term popularized by Trump that contends, without evidence, that a network of unelected federal bureaucrats works clandestinely to thwart conservative policy objectives. “Speaking as a CEO, if somebody works for you, and you can’t fire them, that means they don’t work for you,” he said.
“It could not be done without Congress repealing the laws that empower these agencies and functions,” said Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution. A study released last week by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that a five-week government shutdown in 2018-2019 saw nearly a million federal workers furloughed and reduced U.S. economic output by $3 billion.
