Before hitting an economic crisis in 1991, India had been a mediocre 2% economy for 40+ years, held back by centrally planned top down economic policy coupled with corruption and a bloated bureaucracy. Our current inability to get anything done that touches government (in the US) reminds me very much of the Indian economy in the 80s where I grew up.
Mr. Manmohan Singh was given a mandate to change course and he embarked on a very DOGE like path - cutting entire government departments. It had the twin benefit of cutting wasteful spending and getting rid of mountains of regulations that did nothing but throw sand into the cogs of the economy. That stint by him laid the foundation of the modern Indian economy that the country is still reaping the benefits of - thirty five years later.
We need DOGE to be successful in its mission. BADLY.
We have seen a version of DOGE in India in 1991.
