If you oppose Elon Musk and Doge's federal audit, you're involved in money laundering. We deserve to know how our tax dollars are spent. The government's wasteful spending is outrageous; they spend money on ridiculous things, like studying Thanos' snap and animal surgeries. They also wasted billions in USAID. It's time for a federal audit—a 10% audit is needed because the government is constantly interfering in our lives. Finally, someone is holding them accountable. Tomorrow's Super Bowl will feature Elon Musk's $40 million ad campaign exposing government waste. This is fantastic news!

Doge aims to cut the deficit by $1 trillion by reducing waste and fraud, targeting a 15% reduction in federal spending. Astonishingly, billions are wasted routinely, like a billion-dollar charge for a simple online survey. The goal is to cut waste by $4 billion daily, and Doge publishes findings on doge.gov for transparency. A key project involves digitizing the government retirement process, currently a paper-based system housed in a mine with 400 million documents. The aim is to reduce processing time from months to days, offering civil servants a modern experience. Doge is also addressing IT issues, including outdated systems and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. For example, 40% of Social Security phone calls are from fraudsters attempting to steal benefits. Doge aims to improve the system, ensuring legitimate recipients receive their benefits. There are 15-20 million fraudulent social security numbers floating around. Other findings include 27 CIOs at NIH with 700 non-connected IT systems, overstaffing, and a single Treasury bank account for all federal payments, lacking proper oversight. There are 4.6 million government credit cards for 2.3 million employees. Small business loans have been given to those under 11 and over 120 years old.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle America's 36 trillion dollar debt, we need to examine all areas. On the oversight subcommittee, we'll investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads propaganda. We'll also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, programs that don't benefit Americans. I also want to address the Pentagon about their missing billions and failed audits.

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.

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.

I support any measure that eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. Whatever actions Doge takes to streamline government operations and reduce unnecessary bloat, I'm fully in favor of. If we can create a "Doge Act" or any similar initiative that leads to greater efficiency in a Republican-led government, I'm on board. My goal is to make our government more effective and responsible with taxpayer money.

The Doge team is following the money to make real changes. New York is prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens, but that stops today. Our committee will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government, and present plans to fix these problems. We will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team. This week, we're focusing on improper payments by the federal government, including in Medicaid and Medicare. Elon Musk is showing the country the fraud, waste, and abuse that has been going on for decades, and Americans are cheering. Reciprocal tariffs will make America great again.

Doge arrived at the IRS and is now helping review government spending, starting with NASA. We're planning to slash departments by 30-40% if they can't justify their headcount and selling unused federal buildings. We've discovered taxpayer money is being used to fund things like Palestinian hip hop and bizarre animal experiments. The Department of Health and Human Services has also spent billions on cars and homes for migrants. The EPA was caught rushing to spend tax dollars on questionable projects, including a climate fund with a now-deleted board of directors page. Trump's administration is offering buyouts to federal workers, and 75,000 have already accepted. We're addressing government waste and fraud that has been ongoing for years. The goal is to reform and cut wasteful spending.

Doge aims to cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion by reducing waste and fraud, targeting a 15% spending reduction without affecting critical services. Astonishingly, billions are wasted routinely, like a billion-dollar charge for a simple online survey. Doge aims to cut $4 billion daily and publishes findings on doge.gov for transparency. The team found a mine in Pennsylvania housing 400 million paper retirement documents, a process from the 1950s they plan to digitize for faster processing. Government IT costs $100 billion, maintaining systems over 50 years old. Social Security faces fraud, with 40% of calls being from fraudsters trying to steal benefits. Doge aims to protect legitimate recipients and ensure website stability. There are 15-20 million potentially fraudulent Social Security numbers in the system. NIH has 27 centers with 700 IT systems that don't connect and 27 CIOs. The federal government has a one-way ratchet workforce, leading to duplicative functions like 40 communications offices at HHS. The IRS has 1,400 people provisioning laptops and cell phones, a task that could be done monthly by a fraction of that staff. Treasury uses one main bank account for all outgoing payments, lacking basic financial controls and auditability. There's $500 billion in fraud annually. Small business loans were given to those under 11 and over 120 years old due to systems not cross-referencing data. Fraudsters exploit the "alive" status in Social Security to claim benefits for dead people. Doge views its work as a patriotic duty to ensure America's solvency.

Astonishingly, billions are wasted routinely, like a billion-dollar charge for a simple online survey. The goal is to cut $4 billion daily, with success dependent on President Trump's support. Doge publishes findings on doge.gov for transparency. Congress is kept informed, emphasizing that eliminating waste aligns with the law.

The Pentagon hides billions of dollars, with no accountability or audits. We need transparency. The only way to uncover the truth might be if someone leaks information online before mysteriously dying.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle the $36 trillion national debt, we need to examine all areas. As part of the oversight subcommittee, we will investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads Democrat propaganda. We will also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, which do not benefit Americans. Furthermore, we need to question the Pentagon about their inability to account for billions of dollars annually and their repeated audit failures.

Doge's government transparency initiative is an accountant's dream. For the first time, we're seeing exactly where our tax dollars are going, and it's shocking. We've always been told what people *wanted* to hear, not necessarily what we *needed* to hear. Now we have the documentation to see the reality. I'm baffled by the lack of public outrage. This is our money, earned through a lifetime of paying taxes. Where our money is being spent is unacceptable. I'm astounded by the misuse of funds. We need to understand where our tax dollars are being allocated.

Chairman Marcia Taylor Green's subcommittee discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients. These payments went to individuals who should not have received them. Doge is identifying fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Elon Musk mentioned Social Security payments being sent to deceased individuals. There are also contracts where, for example, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was disbursed, raising questions about the missing funds. Doge is actively addressing these issues. President Trump campaigned on this and is delivering on that promise.

We're committed to transparency and want to keep you informed about our decisions. Our priorities are achieving peace through strength, restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence, as directed by President Trump. Be wary of media distortions; we're focused on supporting our war fighters. We're incorporating Doge to combat fraud, waste, and abuse, eliminating non-core Biden priorities. We're reorienting our budget, shifting $50 billion from Biden-era programs to Trump's priorities, building a lethal fighting force, while protecting key programs. We are reevaluating our probationary workforce to ensure accountability and mission-critical contributions, retaining top performers and implementing a hiring freeze to promote merit-based hiring. We're dedicated to rebuilding the best military, making tough decisions, and communicating directly with you.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

I consider myself a humble tech support, and that’s almost a literal description of the work the Doge team is doing to help fix government computer systems. Many of these systems are extremely old and don't communicate, and the software doesn't work. The overall goal is to help address the enormous deficit. We simply cannot sustain $2,000,000,000,000 deficits. The interest on the national debt now exceeds the Defense Department spending. If this continues, the country will become de facto bankrupt. It's not an optional thing; it is essential. If we don't do this, America will go bankrupt. I'm confident that we can find a trillion dollars in savings.

The speaker asserts there is waste in government spending, which was the idea behind "doge." Elon Musk did not find $2 trillion, but he only worked on it for 130 days. The idea that there must be a perpetual audit of government is now embedded in everyone's head, regardless of political affiliation. The brand for this idea is "Doge."

The DOGE program is targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for example. They have a budget of about $280 billion a year, but less than 25% goes to educating students. The other $220 billion goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate money back to Democrats, NGOs—it's money laundering. You can find this in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he is cutting spending, he doesn't have the authority to do that, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund, and attaching a number to it. We then put a preamble on the front of that report and say every agency's budget will be cut by X amount as shown in the report, and none of those programs can continue.

Failing to account for a billion-dollar budget feels like waste to me. It's concerning when an organization can't track its spending, especially a large one like the Department of Defense with its $850 billion budget. The inability to pass an audit doesn't automatically equal fraud, but it raises serious questions. The lack of clear accounting, combined with issues like food insecurity on military bases and the significant increase in the Pentagon budget after twenty years of war, leads many to perceive corruption. Seeing disparities between massive military spending and struggles to provide basic services to those in need is jarring. It raises questions about resource allocation and priorities. I understand the technicalities of audits, but as a citizen, the lack of accountability is concerning.

The DOGE program is definitely targeted at bureaucrats. Take the Department of Education, for instance. They have a $280 billion budget, but less than 25% actually goes to educating students. The other $220 billion? It goes to bureaucracy, consultants who donate back to Democrats, more consultants, and NGOs. It's money laundering at its finest, and you'll find it in almost every agency. The brilliance of DOGE is not that he has the authority to cut spending, we do. I want him to create a report, going agency by agency, identifying programs we shouldn't fund and assigning a number to each. We'll add a preamble, cut each agency's budget by a set amount based on the report, and halt those programs for good.

We're kicking off the Oversight Subcommittee on Doge to tackle government waste, fraud, and abuse. Our national debt is $36 trillion, a staggering amount that's growing out of control due to compounding interest. By 2025, interest payments could exceed our entire military budget, reaching $1.8 trillion by 2035. This debt, a betrayal by elected officials, is enslaving Americans and fueling inflation. Unlike private businesses, the federal government faces no consequences for failure, taking our tax dollars regardless of performance. Congress's low approval reflects public disgust, and we must act. This subcommittee, comprised of both Republicans and Democrats, will work with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team to combat waste. This week, we're focusing on improper payments in Medicaid and Medicare, seeking solutions to this crisis.

Failing to account for $850 billion in the DOD budget is concerning. While a failed audit doesn't automatically mean waste, fraud, or abuse, it raises questions about accountability and responsible spending. The inability to track how this money was spent leads to justifiable concerns, especially when considering issues like food insecurity on military bases. The contrast between a massive military budget and struggles to provide basic services highlights a disconnect for many. Seeing a $50 billion increase in the Pentagon budget after twenty years of war, while service members rely on food stamps, fuels perceptions of corruption. This isn't about personal attacks, but about the disconnect between massive spending and the realities faced by those in the military.
