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?
Class warfare, they don’t want any of us dirty working class people to join their destroy the government party.
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 unpaid, so only the extremely wealthy who would benefit from cutting programs can make even more money.
No W2. I guess that’s one way to not officially be logged as working for something.

You heard President Musk, they’re not getting paid.
This is how you recruit fanatics to a cause. People who do things for a cause instead of a paycheck are not employees.
