Coinbase CEO<a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1858023954776207730" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brian Armstrong</a> has proposed a thought-provoking idea for the newly formed presidential advisory commission, the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), led by<a href="https://u.today/glad-its-over-dogecoin-foundation-reacts-to-dismissal-of-lawsuit-against-elon-musk" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a> and Vivek Ramaswamy. Announced as part of an effort to cut federal spending, streamline government operations and reduce the national deficit by $2 trillion by July 4, 2026, the initiative remains a hot topic in mass media.
So, Armstrong suggested that<a href="https://u.today/opinions/doge-to-the-moon-how-high-can-dogecoin-price-soar" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">D.O.G.E.</a> could be a great chance to change how the government spends money while making it easier for businesses to grow.
In particular, he advocated structural reforms that limit how much the government spends and suggested a constitutional amendment to cap total government spending at a fixed percentage of GDP, around 10% perhaps.
Another idea by Armstrong was to make government spending more accountable by using new ways to manage the country's money.

One example is a U.S. sovereign wealth fund. This would give every citizen a share, with extra money from the budget shared out as dividends. Armstrong said that this would make people and lawmakers think more carefully about how the government spends money. He also suggested offering bigger stakes to lawmakers to encourage them to support long-term economic growth. <img src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/doge_256.png" data-entity-uuid="ade436b4-fd7f-442f-8117-57751a187350" data-entity-type="file" alt="&quot;&quot;" data-caption="D.O.G.E. to USD by <a href=&quot;https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/department-of-government-efficiency-token/&quot;>CoinMarketCap</a>">
Armstrong's comments came just as the price of the synonymous<a href="https://u.today/crazy-4-trillion-shib-change-hands-in-mysterious-transfer-heres-price-reaction" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meme coin</a> rose 12.22% with its market cap reaching $427 million. The project's visibility was boosted by the overlap between its branding and the enthusiasm of the cryptocurrency community. <a href="https://u.today/coinbase-ceo-makes-intriguing-offer-for-elon-musks-doge" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
