    So seriously, what is the administrations intention here? They’ve used all the missiles and drained all the gas. Are they trying to get the U.S. invaded?

      Project 2025 fairly implicitly stated that the idea was to scuttle trust in the US government so badly that there would be a case for private equity to swoop in and save the day. That's what you're seeing.

        So how exactly are they supposed to swoop in? With what?

          The corollary isn't that they fix things. It's that they'll profit. Fixing the services isn't really the goal, so your question becomes a non sequitor

              Except that they seem to have explicitly stated this as a goal in Project 2025.
