I commend their transparency rooting out bogus loans and canceling the “Slush Funds” of USAID. We need accountability and just like DOGE, transparency. Having a blank check and a unlimited credit card because they work for the Government doesn’t fly. No wonder the Left is all “up in arms” to stop DOGE and attack Trump and Elon Musk. Just look at all the recent attacks on Tesla owners and the Tesla manufacturing plant. Desperation always leads to violence. The Democrats lost site of the “Real Americans” working middle class and their policies were ruining the country.
Information of what DOGE is doing and a list of the fraud and waste is available on their website.
GAO: Government Accountability Audit: “Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information
needed to help improve government performance and accountability for
the benefit of the American people.”
As recently reported by GAO on March 11, 2025 they issued their report on federal agencies and identified $162 billion in payment errors.
Excerpt below.
“WASHINGTON (March 11, 2025) GAO today issued its report on federal agencies’ improper payments estimates for fiscal year 2024, reporting that agencies identified $162 billion in payment errors. Improper payments are those that should not have been made or were made in the incorrect amount. A longstanding, government-wide issue, improper payments are a result of overpayments, inaccurate recordkeeping, fraud, or other causes. $135 billion of this year’s improper payments estimate, or roughly 84 percent, were due to overpayments. While today’s report shows a $74 billion decrease in improper payments from the previous fiscal year, GAO continues to make recommendations aimed at reducing these payment errors and safeguarding federal funds.”
GAO on their 2024 Report defined Fraud: Involves obtaining something of value through willful
misrepresentation. Whether an act is, in fact, fraud is determined through
the judicial or other adjudicative system and is beyond auditors’
professional responsibility. (paragraph 8.73)
