Vivek Ramaswamy dismisses government shutdown as a ‘phony and contrived argument’.
Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy Mocks Impending Government Shutdown
During an appearance on Fox News’s Cavuto Live, Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidency, took a jab at the ongoing debate surrounding government funding. As the deadline approached, Ramaswamy didn’t hold back in expressing his views.
“First, I want to say about the government shutdown debate broadly, I think it’s a fake and artificial debate if we’re being honest about it,” Ramaswamy said. “What happens every time? The government comes back, all the employees get their back pay, and generally, the government comes back bigger every time.”
Ramaswamy’s bold statements didn’t stop there. As part of his campaign promises, he has vowed to reduce the federal workforce by a staggering 75%. This includes shutting down major agencies such as the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Department of Education, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services.
At just 37 years old, Ramaswamy is the youngest contender in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. He faces tough competition from notable figures such as former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie, former Texas representative Will Hurd, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, political commentator Larry Elder, and businessman Perry Johnson.
How does Vivek Ramaswamy’s age and unique perspective make him an intriguing GOP presidential candidate
Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy recently appeared on Fox News’s Cavuto Live, where he decided to voice his opinions on the impending government shutdown. In a bold move, Ramaswamy didn’t shy away from expressing his views on the ongoing debate surrounding government funding.
During the show, Ramaswamy declared, “First, I want to say about the government shutdown debate broadly, I think it’s a fake and artificial debate if we’re being honest about it. What happens every time? The government comes back, all the employees get their back pay, and generally, the government comes back bigger every time.” With this statement, Ramaswamy questioned the significance of the debate, suggesting that it may not be as significant as it is portrayed.
However, Ramaswamy’s remarks didn’t end with his critique of the government shutdown debate. As part of his campaign promises, he has pledged to reduce the federal workforce by a staggering 75%. This plan includes shutting down major agencies such as the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Department of Education, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services. This proposal highlights Ramaswamy’s stance on limited government intervention and his determination to reduce government bureaucracy.
At just 37 years old, Ramaswamy is the youngest contender in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. Despite his age, he faces formidable competition from established figures such as former President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie, former Texas representative Will Hurd, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, political commentator Larry Elder, and businessman Perry Johnson.
Ramaswamy’s willingness to challenge the status quo and his straightforward manner of expressing his views make him a distinct and intriguing candidate. As the race for the GOP nomination heats up, it will be interesting to observe how Ramaswamy’s unique perspective and proposals resonate with voters. The upcoming months will undoubtedly shed light on whether his bold stance against the government shutdown and commitment to reducing bureaucracy resonate with the American public.
