Mike Johnson States Goal to “Blowtorch” Government by 75%

House Speaker Mike Johnson has teamed up with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

And taking cues from when Musk eliminated most of Twitter’s staff, Johnson is aiming to cut 75% of agencies!

That’s insanely huge!

He wants to shrink the list from 428 bureaucracies to a simple 99.

In a Fox News chat, Johnson also vowed to defund PBS and Planned Parenthood.

Why should the government pay for PBS when they’re raking in around $187 MILLION in profits for Sesame Street alone, in 2023.

So why are we paying them to get rich?

Finally people common sense is returning.

Yahoo News reports:

House Speaker Mike Johnson intends to cut 75 percent of all federal agencies with the help of Elon Musk’s outside commission known as the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

“We certainly hope” to slash the number of federal agencies from 428 to 99, as Musk has vowed, Johnson said in response to a question from Fox News host Martha McCallum in an interview Wednesday night. “We want to be willing partners in that,” he added.

He noted he aims to cut all funding for PBS and Planned Parenthood. “I would like to, that’s for sure,” said Johnson.

As for dismantling agencies, “We have the opportunity to go in and really take back control from the administrative state,” he said.

“For a long time they’ve been acting as judge, jury and executioner on the rules that they make on industries and small business owners and the rest,” he added. “We have the ingredients, we have the conditions right now to actually be ablemake really dramatic change.”

Johnson said dismantling the goverment will be part of “the playbook to unleash and unroll in January.”

Johnson added on X on Wednesday night: “Under President Trump, we will take a blowtorch to the administrative state and reduce the size and scope of government.”
