One of the biggest functions of the Dosh team is just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually carried out, promising to weed out more government waste and slashing the federal workforce.

It is part of a broader push by the Trump administration to assert greater authority over the government, possibly limiting the spending of congressionally approved funds in ways that could set up lawsuits and lead courts to weigh in.

Past administrations saw public benefit in having regulators that could operate in the long-term interests of the country without the daily machinations of politics.
