Can someone explain what these phishing texts hope to accomplish? What's the goal?




. @DOGE is a once in a lifetime opportunity to increase economic freedom in the U.S. and cut the size of government back to health. The founding fathers were geniuses but (with humility) may have missed the adverse incentives which grow the size of democratic government over time (winning elections by promising more free stuff). To future proof this, we may need a constitutional amendment capping total government expenditure (at say 10%), or a way to align incentives (Buffet famously suggested an unbalanced budget makes all members of congress who vote for it ineligible for reelection). You’d ideally have a way to temporally dial up burn (say in war time), but still have the right incentives to not let spending get totally out of control longer term. An example would be a U.S. sovereign wealth fund, where every citizen gets a share (maybe people can buy more if they want), and any budget surplus pays a dividend. Every citizen then has skin in the game. Maybe congress gets a slightly larger stake. What are the best ideas out there to align incentives toward fiscal discipline long term?
