Musk and Ramaswamy propose radical cuts including a 75% reduction in the federal workforce and a $2 trillion decrease in federal spending, facing significant challenges.
While they advocate for drastic reforms, only 16% of the federal budget is discretionary, and mandatory spending dominates, making substantial cuts complex and politically sensitive.
House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated the discussion aims to 'revive the principle of limited government', supporting the significant shifts Musk and Ramaswamy propose.
Support is growing among lawmakers, with some forming caucuses to partner with Musk and Ramaswamy, indicating a potential shift towards their ambitious efficiency goal.
