A DOGE Objectivist Philosophy

    The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should have a defined moral philosophy.  I am of the school of Objectivist Philosophy, developed by Ayn Rand, which stands for a political system that is a Constitutionally Limited Republic.

    Ayn Rand wrote in her book Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal in the Appendix chapter The Nature of Government the following quote:

"The proper functions of a government fall into three broad categories, all of them involving the issues of physical force and the protection of men's rights: the police, to protect men from criminals - the armed services, to protect men from foreign invaders - the law courts, to settle disputes among men according to objective laws."

    The most renown authority on Ayn Rand's philosophy, appointed by her as her intellectual heir before she passed away, explained that there would have to be two more department types for a moral Objectivist government to function - those being: diplomacy and treasury.  But that's it!  There is no further form of moral government.

    So, with legitimate government understood, it is easy to know what departments are DOGE Allies.  To begin:

    The initial question at DOGE should not be: "What does America cut in government?".  The first question should be: "What government departments does America not cut?".
