It seems like a big part of the premise of DOGE is that if you shut down a lot of the government people will be freer. I do want people to be freer, but I worry that their approach so far will have the exact opposite effect.

If you shut down websites with public data, then we can't reach accurate conclusions on scientific questions. If you shut down Direct File, we still owe taxes but it's harder to pay them. If you fire inspector generals, orgs spending govt $$ don't get audited.
