Why would such a group of people volunteer to rewrite the budget without any oversight or accountability? There’s no possible benefit to themselves! They must be such giving, selfless souls!

Are there actually people who want to volunteer for an 80 hour/week unpaid job?
Think about the kind of person who would benefit from helping to make decisions in the government department dedicated to cutting government spending. It’s likely business owners and industry leads that will benefit financially from replacing the holes left in the government with their businesses.
Think NASA being replaced by SpaceX and Boeing. Or think Shell making budgetary decisions about the EPA.
These are the folks that will be working these positions. And every one of them will have a salary through the corporation they represent.
and half of them will log 80 hours a week and work 5, while paying someone else out of their own pocket to work 75.
Sure. It’s unpaid to attract people who don’t need money to survive, and bar everyone else. And it gives them some modicum of direct control and power to change things as they see fit.
Effectively, it’s a wealth filter. It works with internships, why not this ideologically-motivated nonsense?
Besides, rich people who don’t need income don’t know how to do actual work, so 80 hour weeks is probably code for “play a lot of golf and take 4 hour lunches, work drunk, whatever, just have fun with it man!”
It’s not a job, it’s an opportunity to rewrite laws in your favor.
Class warfare, they don’t want any of us dirty working class people to join their destroy the government party.
