He argued that even a 10% reduction in federal spending relative to the gross domestic product (GDP) could have profound economic benefits. Armstrong noted that federal spending has more than doubled in recent years, emphasizing the need for systemic reform.
Armstrong proposed bold measures to ensure fiscal discipline, including a constitutional amendment to cap government spending. He suggested disqualifying Congress members who approve unbalanced budgets from re-election, saying such measures are crucial for fostering long-term financial accountability.
Additionally, Armstrong floated the idea of establishing a U.S. sovereign wealth fund that would allow citizens to contribute and hold shares. Budget surpluses generated by the fund, he said, could be distributed as dividends to participants, providing a direct financial benefit to Americans.
Trump officially<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/11/u-s-president-elect-trump-tasks-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-with-reducing-government-spending-via-doge-initiative/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> announced</a> the formation of DOGE on November 13, appointing Elon Musk as the agency’s head alongside entrepreneur and Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy. The department, whose name plays on Dogecoin’s ticker, will focus on cutting wasteful spending, restructuring federal agencies, and eliminating unnecessary regulations.
Trump stated that the agency would shake up the system and potentially become “The Manhattan Project” of its time.
Meanwhile, the CEO had<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/11/coinbase-ceo-calls-2024-us-election-a-major-win-for-crypto-community/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> expressed</a> optimism about Trump’s re-election, noting that the president-elect’s openness to digital assets and financial innovation could foster a more favourable federal stance toward cryptocurrency. He also celebrated significant pro-crypto election victories in the recent U.S. elections. He emphasized that the next focus for the industry should be advocating for sensible regulations, ensuring consumer protection, and building resilience against emerging challenges.
