Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, wrote on X that the U.S. Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase economic freedom in the United States and return the size of government to health. The size of democratic government has adverse effects (winning elections by promising more free stuff). We need a constitutional amendment to limit total government spending (say 10%), or find a way to coordinate incentives (Buffett has argued that an unbalanced budget would make all members of Congress who voted for it ineligible for re-election).
