Former President Trump announced that he will create a government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk. Let\u2019s not forget that \u201cgovernment efficiency\u201d is an oxymoron. Government can't rationally economize, like the rest of us. Its decisions are made politically, and not by profits and losses. We don\u2019t voluntarily give our money to the government. It takes our money by force. So while government can never be \u201cefficient," it can be, and should be, a lot smaller and less of a burden on us.
