An error was recently corrected on the DOGE website, a uuuuuge line item for Homeland Security listed a contract savings of 8 Billion dollars.
Turns out, it was 8 Million, uuuuuge difference Elon and the Muskateers.
Take a look at these savings and you'll find most of the line items are for magazine and newspaper subscriptions for various agencies. There are some big line items for DEI Training, but that was going away without Musk uncovering it.
There is no Congressional oversite on any of this and Inspector Generals have been fired
Trump ended his first week in office by firing inspectors general (IGs) across 17 different federal agencies.
This blatantly illegal mass firing removes the only independent offices within agencies designed to protect taxpayer money and root out corruption, fraud, waste and mismanagement.
Of course, you don trust the numbers or the process, and 99% of it is because you hate Trump. Nothing to see here.Fetterman Calls Out His Unhinged Party Over Anti-ICE Stance, Dunks All Over Mamdani.
The government itself is aware that fraud exists at a massive scale. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates that the federal government loses hundreds of billions of dollars each year due to fraud. Medicare-related fraud has permitted health care insurers to pocket $50 billion in reimbursements for diseases that doctors never treated. Fraudsters collected an estimated $135 billion in fraudulent COVID-19 unemployment payments, and unless Congress acts to extend the statute of limitations, this money will never be recouped by the government.
National security funds are routinely misspent or disappeared. The Pentagon has failed seven audits in a row and often can't account for missing money; last year, the Defense Department admitted that it lost $8.2 billion in Ukraine. The federal government spent $61 billion rebuilding Iraq: 15 percent of the funds were misspent, and another 10 percent simply disappeared, according to government auditors. In Afghanistan, it's much the same: The Taliban-controlled central bank is a recipient of U.S. funds.
Come on. Senator Kennedy reported last year using spreadsheets, grafts all to bring some attention to this crap. I freaking gave you access and you refused to watch it because it was so long.
Musk, first and foremost wants transparency, so he is using a social platform and webpage now. He said there would be corrections.
After all, 31 billion dollars was sent out to dead people during Covid and never accounted for. Fact.I speak American English, so my pronunciation sounds like, I RAN and I RACK. Carte blanche
I just told you why. You want more examples... mass firings with no regard to who does what and why they do it, just slash the number.... Ooops we fired nuclear weapons workers and we need them back.
You have no credibility and will blindly accept anything Musk and Trump says or does.
I worked in DOD. It really is this bad. At least for that segment. The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson
