I don't like this bill at all. It says that the special Government employee managing the Department of Government Efficiency will be responsible for any claims against the Federal Government related to Department activities. That just doesn't seem fair to me. Why should one person be held accountable for everything that happens in the department? Who is going to be affected by this bill?
