Rep. Mike Walz supports new efficiency department to cut U.S. government spending

Rep. Mike Walz (R-FL) expressed confidence in the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to help reduce U.S. government spending. He believes cutting trillions from the budget is practical. Walz highlighted the experience of Musk and Ramaswamy in transforming industries, suggesting their approach could lead to significant budget cuts. Ramaswamy indicated that some government agencies might be eliminated under Trump's administration. The formation of this department follows Trump's election victory, with Walz resigning from Congress to serve as national security advisor. This change leaves his House seat vacant.
