Transnational fraud rings, terrorist organizations, and even nation-states like North Korea are being funded with our tax dollars. During the pandemic, a trillion dollars was stolen, with 70% going overseas. For example, one state had more unemployment claims than adults, and Romanian thieves used stolen funds for fentanyl and to undermine our democracy. While most public servants are honest, insider threats exist. Data and technology are crucial to identify them. Recently, in a Western state, criminals stole $50 million from Medicaid in under four months. These aren't individual acts; they're organized criminal groups, both domestic and transnational. Controls must be in place.

This hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Our national debt is $36 trillion, and the compounding interest is growing out of control, projected to exceed our entire military budget. These interest payments don't serve Americans; they enslave us to those who own our debt, driving inflation and crippling small businesses. This debt results from Congress and elected administrations, betraying the American people. Unlike private businesses that depend on customer service and smart financial management, the federal government takes our tax dollars regardless of its performance. We must tackle this problem together, setting aside political theater. This subcommittee will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team, starting with improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare. The American people are watching.

I'm demanding refunds for US taxpayers due to alarming financial mismanagement within our federal government. Information from the Department of Government Efficiency reveals that the number of federal employee millionaires has more than doubled since 2021, estimating around 60,000 currently. This is suspicious considering the average federal employee salary is $86,000 annually. Given this, plus a national debt exceeding $36 trillion and a deficit over $2 trillion, I question the trustworthiness of these agencies. With evidence of potential payroll fraud and a lack of oversight from elected officials, I believe taxpayers deserve a refund. Our money has been irresponsibly squandered. Since they have failed to act responsibly with our finances, we deserve our money back.

This hearing aims to bring transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Our national debt is $36 trillion, and the compounding interest is growing out of control. Interest payments will exceed our entire military budget. This debt enslaves Americans and drives inflation. It stems from Congress and elected administrations, betraying the American people. Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, arose from this betrayal. Unlike private businesses, the federal government doesn't rely on customer service to earn income; it takes your money regardless. There are no consequences for failure or for the ever-growing national debt. We must tackle this issue together, setting aside political differences to save our nation. We will fight waste alongside President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team, focusing on improper payments in programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

The government has failed to address the high cost of living while attempting to misappropriate taxpayer money. This issue at the Treasury Department highlights the need for action. We will soon introduce the Stop the Steal Act to safeguard the Department of Treasury's payment system from those trying to unlawfully access personal and confidential information.

We're here to address a serious issue: an unelected billionaire has accessed our constituents' private information. Oversight will fulfill its duty to investigate why the Department of Treasury has been compromised and hold accountable those responsible for this breach. We need clarity on who controls the treasury, their permissions, intentions, and what they plan to do with your money and identity. We demand answers now.

The goal is to restore democracy by fixing the feedback loop between the people and the government. We can't have a democracy if the bureaucracy is in charge and unresponsive to the public's elected representatives. The bureaucracy has become an unconstitutional branch of government with too much power. We also need to address the $2 trillion deficit, which threatens to bankrupt the country. Interest payments on the national debt exceed the defense budget. It's essential to reduce federal expenses to keep America solvent. We've found odd instances of bureaucrats with modest salaries accumulating tens of millions in net worth. Basic controls are missing, leading to blank checks being issued without categorization or explanation. Payments are made to entities on the "do not pay" list. We need common-sense controls to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and to address issues like Social Security payments to 150-year-olds.

The IRS has been using AI to access American citizens' bank accounts without warrants. They claim to have access to everyone's accounts and are willing to go after small taxpayers. Jim Jordan and I demanded answers from the IRS. We need a new administration to protect our civil rights from this lawless surveillance.

I'm beyond angry about the massive corruption we're seeing. A recent report highlighted $50 to $100 billion in Social Security waste and fraud, with payments going to dead people or those way past the age of eligibility. This affects every working American, no matter your political affiliation. We need to hold everyone accountable, regardless of party. This isn't just a little fraud; it's a huge theft from the working class, robbing the future elderly. It's evil, and we need term limits for these politicians who are mismanaging and stealing our money. We want our money back from people like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Mitch McConnell. They're jeopardizing our future Social Security for their own gain.

There's massive fraud in this country, including foreign nationals using fake social security numbers and identities to steal billions in taxpayer benefits. By clamping down on this fraud in our tax and entitlement systems, we could save over a trillion dollars. Doge are subordinate staffers of the federal government and political appointees that serve and answer to the president. They will analyze and assess for signs and symptoms of fraud and how IT systems are failing to detect it. We need to protect the integrity of these systems that Americans rely on. We are restoring neutrality, ethics, and accountability to the IRS to identify large-scale fraud, unfair politicization, and unfair targeting. We want to ensure confidence in the IRS and that no dollars are being stolen from the American people.

I'm nearly convinced that our entire national debt of $36 trillion is due to fraud, abuse, and waste. A staggering $2.7 trillion was improperly sent overseas as Medicare and Medicaid payments. How is this even possible? Is there any part of our government that isn't defrauding the American people? We've barely scratched the surface of this audit, and it already seems the answer is no. It feels like every branch of government has been robbing Americans blind while we struggle to make ends meet. People are still freezing. I want to see arrests, and I want the names of those responsible revealed.

I discovered that 20 million dead people are marked as alive in the social security database. Most fraud doesn't come directly from social security payments, but from disability, unemployment, and fake medical payments because these individuals are incorrectly marked as alive. We need to implement a simple "are you alive" check to prevent these fraudulent payments. This type of negligence would result in a public company being immediately delisted, and its executives imprisoned, but it's considered normal within the government. Therefore, I recommend that the Treasury and Federal Reserve make payment categorization codes mandatory, requiring an explanation for each payment, even if it's basic. This change would significantly improve the current system and potentially save hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

The US Treasury Department has been flagged for potential waste and abuse of taxpayer funds, with about 23% of entitlements, roughly $50 billion annually, going to recipients without known Social Security numbers or IDs. This equates to about a billion dollars a week in potential fraud. Adding to the concern, the Treasury Department hasn't been keeping itemized records of their payouts, making it impossible to track where the money is actually going. Fortunately, an agreement has been made where the Treasury Department will start itemizing all payments, detailing where the money is going and to whom. It's unbelievable that the Treasury hasn't had to provide accountability for where taxpayer money is being spent, especially when individual taxpayers are held to a much higher standard.

Transnational fraud rings, terrorist organizations, and even nation-states are being funded by taxpayer dollars. During the pandemic, one trillion dollars was stolen, with 70% going overseas. For example, in one Western state, unemployment insurance applications exceeded the number of adults. Romanian criminals used stolen funds to facilitate fraud schemes involving fentanyl and attempts to undermine our democracy. While 99% of public sector employees are honest, some exploit the system. Data and technology are crucial to identifying these individuals. Recent examples include a breach of a Medicaid system in a Western state, resulting in $50 million stolen in under four months. These aren't individual thieves, but organized criminal groups, both domestic and transnational.

Our administration's primary goal is restoring democracy by fixing the broken feedback loop between the people and the government. An out-of-control, unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, undermining the will of the people. We must also address the massive national deficit; its interest payments alone surpass the defense budget. We're finding shocking waste, fraud, and abuse—billions of dollars in improper payments, often lacking basic oversight. Simple controls like payment categorization and verification would drastically reduce this. We're working with agency heads and the President to implement common-sense reforms, increasing transparency and ensuring taxpayer money is spent responsibly. We are committed to fiscal responsibility and economic growth, benefiting all Americans. While we strive for transparency, mistakes will be made, but we will correct them promptly.

House Republicans are prioritizing Elon Musk's interests over those of everyday Americans. Their opposition to transparency is baffling, especially for a party claiming to represent the people. The argument that access is needed to combat misinformation is misleading; the individuals involved are treasury employees, not external actors manipulating the system. The Republicans' actions demonstrate a lack of concern for the American people and their tax dollars. Full transparency on government spending is necessary to prove otherwise.

Transnational fraud rings, terrorist organizations, and even nation-states are being funded with taxpayer dollars. During the pandemic, one trillion dollars was stolen, with 70% going overseas. For example, one state had more unemployment claims than adults. Romanian criminals used stolen funds for fentanyl and to undermine our democracy. While most public servants are honest, some exploit the system. In one recent case, individuals stole $50 million from Medicaid in under four months. These aren't individual thefts, but organized criminal groups, both domestic and transnational, that we need data and technology to stop.

Not tax dollars, but our lives have been stolen. It's time to recognize this as theft, not just waste. These funds represent our hard work and years dedicated to earning them. The misuse of money isn't trivial; it involves specific individuals benefiting from fraudulent activities. This is corruption and a betrayal of the American people. We have been made economic slaves, and the years of our lives taken by those in power must be addressed. The accountability of those responsible is crucial, as countless years of American lives have been lost to the actions of the elite.

I want to assure every tax payer that the IRS will not be sifting through records randomly. We are performing a basic anti-fraud review to prevent large scale theft of taxpayer benefits. We pay billions in child tax credits to illegal aliens, so we are implementing systematic reforms. The IRS has been weaponized against Americans for years, engaging in politically based audits and leaking taxpayer information. We are restoring neutrality, ethics, and security controls. One of our major projects involves upgrading IT systems to protect taxpayer information from theft by criminals or foreign governments.

There are members of Congress who have become strangely wealthy, accumulating, for example, $20 million while earning $200,000 a year. It is unclear how this is possible. The goal is to figure out how this happens and stop it.

They've seized financial systems at the Treasury, gaining access to Americans' financial records, members of Congress, prosecutors, and regulators. Courts have repeatedly stated that they're violating the Constitution and laws. That's what deserves attention, not administrative state discussions. All you've done is complain about the process. Isn't the goal to improve the lives of Americans? It seems you're focused on process and think that improvements do not matter. If the goal is to improve lives, the focus shouldn't be on taking down individuals. The focus should be on how to make the American people better off.

I'm uncovering fraud by showing how money isn't reaching its intended destination but is instead being diverted, which goes against what Congress intended. Uncovering fraud should be viewed positively, and it's puzzling why anyone would defend it. We're working to address waste, inefficiency, fraud, and the weaponization of agencies. A prime example is USAID, which misuses taxpayer money to promote unwanted ideologies and destabilize foreign policies. It is common sense to stop funding these things. We aim to address this issue across all agencies, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and effectively.

We're uncovering massive fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Recently, it was discovered that there were $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas. Social Security payments are even going to deceased individuals. We're also seeing contracts where the full amount wasn't delivered. For example, a million-dollar contract might only see $500,000 distributed, and we're working to find where the rest of the money went. This is exactly what I campaigned on, and what 77 million people elected me to do.

A lot of Americans' money has been stolen through fraud and improper payments. In one of my first hearings, we discovered criminals using social security numbers of dead people or people over 115 years old to get small business loans and steal money from federal programs. We need to work to fix these issues in our legislation, budgets, and appropriations. This is a bipartisan issue; we're addressing money being fraudulently used and stolen. The American people are being robbed blind through improper payments, fraud, and outdated systems. Some federal agencies hire third-party vendors to hold data instead of communicating within the government. We are currently $36 trillion in debt, and we can't afford to keep losing money this way.

We've found some odd things, like bureaucrats with modest salaries somehow accumulating millions while in their positions. It makes you wonder where that money comes from. It seems taxpayers are footing the bill for this wealth. Basic controls that any company would have are missing at Treasury, like payment categorization codes or comments explaining payments. The "do not pay" list, meant for terrorists and fraudsters, takes up to a year to get on and isn't even used. Departments fail audits because of these missing controls. It boils down to complaint minimization. Approving all payments avoids complaints, even from fraudsters. But we need to complain when money is misspent and demand taxpayer dollars are used wisely. It's just common sense. We even see people claiming Social Security who are 50 years old!
