Why would such a group of people volunteer to rewrite the budget without any oversight or accountability? There’s no possible benefit to themselves! They must be such giving, selfless souls!

    Think about the kind of person who would benefit from helping to make decisions in the government department dedicated to cutting government spending. It’s likely business owners and industry leads that will benefit financially from replacing the holes left in the government with their businesses.

    Think NASA being replaced by SpaceX and Boeing. Or think Shell making budgetary decisions about the EPA.

    These are the folks that will be working these positions. And every one of them will have a salary through the corporation they represent.
