5-8% cuts is cosmetic. Sorry.

Reduce the bureaucracy to either NY STATE DMV to drivers ratio=833 bureaucrats total.

(5000 DMV to 12 million NY drivers). Say 1000.

-Or-

NY STATE government all levels local , county, state, even Federal in NY State. Which is 1 million government for 20 million souls.

5% of souls.

=100,000 DOD civilian bureaucrats.

So we get range of 1000~100,000 bureaucrats.

If Musk was a veteran he could do this, Pete is a Veteran.

Can he do this?

Because someone will.
