DOGE - the acronym for the newly created Dept Of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk. Considering all the headlines about the exposure of govt waste, it might be interesting to keep track of what's being uncovered my this group. Their raid on the obscure agency USAID is a good place to start: unbelievable waste of taxpayer dollars.

At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the

More examples of USAID waste:

"... includes $2 million in funding related to Moroccan pottery classes, some $2 million backing trips to Lebanon, over $1 million to fund research in the Wuhan lab, $20 million to make a Sesame Street in Iraq and $9 million in humanitarian aid that “ended up in the hands of violent terrorists.”

"The administration pointed to USAID spending $2 million to fund LBTQ activism and sex changes in Guatemala, $6 million for tourism in Egypt, $32,000 on a “transgender comic book” in Peru, $2.5 million backing electric vehicles in Vietnam, money that backed “personalized” contraceptives in developing countries and more."

I cant wait until he gets to the defense spending and finds all of the waste there, all of the USAID grants are going to be meaningless compared to the all of the defense contractors ripping off the American taxpayers.

But then again, if he opens up that can of worms, he might just end up in a terrible "accident".

Suppose a private business failed seven IRS audits in a row. They would never be allowed to get to seven before being closed or restructured. There's also the corrupt contractors that have been getting fat from the misappropriated billions of taxpayer dollars. This should be fun to watch. BTW, the forces on the ground won't be affected, but the high ranking generals and civilians in the Pentagon are probably already sweating.

While the Democrats squeal about their pork being canceled, DOGE keeps finding more incredible fraud and waste.

"...over the past 20 years, the U.S. government has squandered $2.7 trillion on improper payments. Just last year alone, the government handed out $170 billion to individuals who were deceased, criminals, or otherwise ineligible for government programs...
The Biden administration lost a staggering $764 billion due to a combination of inaccurate record-keeping, bureaucratic incompetence, and outright fraud."

But wait - there's more! With all the disaster relief needed for US citizens in CA and NC, FEMA has been spending tens of millions on luxury hotels for illegal aliens in NY - a sanctuary state. At least the latest $59M payment was clawed back and four FEMA employees were fired for arranging the improper payment.

All of these amounts and outrageous things are just made up garbage until we get proof.

Most of this money goes to the poor, guess we need to cut that out so that the billionaires can get a tax cut.

The concentration of wealth continues......
