DCS,

Department of Citizens Services: Your Government, Fixed Fast

Picture a government that works for you, not against you. The Department of Citizens Services (DCS) is a lean, 10-year federal agency built to slash bureaucratic nonsense and deliver public services. Think of it as your advocate—part Navy ombudsman, part retail floor walker—fighting for you when agencies fail.

How It Works

• Citizen Champion: Got a problem with the IRS, VA, or passport office? DCS investigates complaints, mediates disputes, and ensures resolutions within 30 days—no runaround.

• Bureaucracy Buster: DCS rates agencies yearly on efficiency and citizen satisfaction via public "Citizens First" scorecards. Agencies that dodge reforms by cutting vital services—like closing DMV offices or slashing Medicaid access—face exposure and mandatory fixes.

• Anti-Retaliation Enforcement: When bureaucrats throw tantrums and cut essential services to protect waste (think pulling prized flowers while leaving weeds), DCS can recommend budget freezes or leadership audits to Congress, ensuring pain stays with the weeds, not taxpayers.

• Efficiency Driver: DCS works with initiatives like DOGE to streamline processes—digitizing forms, speeding up VA claims—without harming citizens.

• State Flexibility: States can launch their own DCS to fix local issues, from slow DMVs to clunky Medicaid systems.

• Lean and Temporary: Capped at 1,000 staff and a $500M budget, DCS stays nimble. It sunsets in 10 years unless citizens vote to keep it via referendum.

• Citizen Oversight: An elected Citizen Oversight Board and annual audits keep DCS honest, preventing it from becoming another bloated bureaucracy.

Why It Matters

DCS stops bureaucrats from holding taxpayers hostage. It exposes wasteful agencies, protects essential services, and ensures reforms prioritize you, not their egos. In a decade, it’s either a success story or gone, leaving the government leaner and fairer.
