Vivek Ramaswamy - Why I Left the DOGE Project (youtube.com)
Vivek was focussed on legal and constitutional issues, and that you have to do it through laws and regulations. He wanted to use the Constitution to remove regulations. Most of the regulations that limit people's activities aren't passed by Congress through laws, they're just regulations made by beurocrats, like the amount a fisherman has to pay for a license to be able to fish, the registration requirement before a bank or asset manager is allowed to do business, or the procedural hoop a biotech company has to go through to get from stage 1 to stage 2, or the premission a coal or nuclear plant has to get from the government before they build a new plant. None of these were passed by people who were elected, by Congress, they were written to law (they call it ‘rules’ but it is law) by unelected beurocrats. These are more like edicts than laws in a ‘democracy’, Ramaswamy said. Often laws are needed but he wants that at least they be written by elected representatives so that when they don't work, they can vote that person out.
Second Set of Books.
Ramaswamy talks over a lot. He doesn't seem relaxed enough to wait while the other person talks. Maybe too young.
DOGE is technology-focussed in the approach.
