The speaker is advocating for a US taxpayer refund due to information released by the Department of Government Efficiency, claiming Elon Musk and Doge revealed there are over 60,000 federal employee millionaires. The speaker states that when Joe Biden took office in 2021, there were approximately 70,000 federal employee millionaires, but by September 2024, that number more than doubled to 55,334, and is now estimated to be around 60,000. The speaker questions how this increase occurred, given the average federal employee salary is $86,000. The speaker notes that even the highest-paid federal employees, such as medical officers and cybersecurity personnel, earn around $250,000-$260,000 annually. The speaker expresses distrust in federal agencies and opposes paying down the deficit under these circumstances.

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.

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.

The administration hired tens of thousands of IRS workers to pursue back taxes, yet from 2021 to 2023, nearly 6,000 IRS employees owe about $50 million in back taxes. Despite having the authority to fire these individuals, only 20 have been terminated. Additionally, some of these employees have faced misconduct issues, including sexual misconduct, and 282 have been rehired. It's absurd that the IRS targets citizens while failing to manage its own employees effectively. The situation highlights a significant double standard.

I'm done being the federal government's piggy bank. I'm tired of hearing about trillions of unaccounted dollars while the IRS is seizing our assets and wages. We're overtaxed while congresspeople get away with insider trading and pay next to nothing. My husband and I pay more in taxes than some people make in a year. I won't do it anymore. We need to protest in the streets and demand a tax halt. I don't care if the states or the federal government suffers, especially when they're wasting our money on ridiculous studies. I’m struggling to afford groceries and gas. We need a tax halt until they figure this out, President Trump. Period.

The government has failed to address the high cost of living while attempting to misappropriate taxpayer money. The situation at the Treasury Department highlights this issue. To combat unlawful access to the Treasury's payment system and protect personal and confidential information, we will soon introduce the Stop the Steal Act.

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.

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.

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.

As taxpayers, we're footing a $271 billion bill annually. Is it really too much to ask for some accountability on where that money goes, especially when these individuals are earning an average salary of $106,000 a year? Think about the single mom juggling two jobs or the dental hygienist tracking patients. They can justify their work. So, why is it such a burden for government employees to do the same? It's this attitude, this perceived arrogance that the American people are fed up with. It's our money, and we have every right to know how it's being spent.

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.

The American people are tired of their tax dollars being wasted. For the first time, this president is committed to restoring accountability at every level of the federal government. If you agree there is waste, abuse, and corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts and reforms that are being instituted? We are saving Americans billions of dollars and ending the theft, waste, grift, and corruption. We are stopping American taxpayer dollars from subsidizing a rogue federal bureaucracy that has been relentlessly weaponized against the American people. We care about this issue. The American public overwhelmingly supports what President Trump is doing.

We're reviewing the budget, starting with Congress. The Members Representational Allowance totals $810 million for 535 members, averaging $1.5 million each. Despite earning $175,000—three times the average American salary of $59,000—Congress is proposing a $70,000 raise, pushing their average salary to $245,000. Meanwhile, they refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. Additionally, leadership receives $37 million, and house committees get $212 million. This raises questions about the spending: what justifies these costs? The government needs to cut unnecessary expenses instead of misleading the public about their concern for citizens. The focus should shift from self-serving raises to addressing the needs of the American people.

I'm calling for an investigation to uncover who in the government has been receiving kickbacks from USAID. Doge's congressional audits reveal that three Democrat senators have each inexplicably gained over $20,000,000 in net worth. When questioned, they claimed the wealth simply appeared. These files have now been handed over to Pam Bondi at the Justice Department. If they're found guilty of using taxpayer money to enrich themselves, what consequences do you think they should face? Share your thoughts in the comments on what actions should be taken against those who steal from American citizens.

As EPA Administrator, my top priority is to protect your tax dollars from waste and abuse. A disturbing video revealed a Biden EPA appointee discussing the wasteful spending of tax dollars. My team discovered that the Biden EPA parked approximately $20 billion of your tax dollars at an outside financial institution. This unprecedented scheme was designed to rush money out the door with reduced oversight, awarding the funds to just eight entities responsible for distributing the money to NGOs with less transparency. Nearly $7 billion went to one entity, raising questions about fund allocation and potential conflicts of interest. There's no suspicion of wrongdoing by the bank. I am calling for the immediate termination of the financial agent agreement with the bank, demanding the return of all funds to the EPA. We will review every expenditure, referring the matter to the Inspector General and working with the Justice Department. The days of irresponsible spending on activist groups are over. We are committed to transparency and accountability, reclaiming control of these funds and pursuing further action.

We've uncovered some unusual financial discrepancies. Several individuals in bureaucratic positions with modest salaries have amassed tens of millions of dollars in net worth. One example involves a woman who walked away with approximately $30,000,000. We're curious about the source of this wealth. Perhaps they are skilled investors, but it seems more likely that they are enriching themselves at the expense of taxpayers. We are investigating to determine how this occurred.

We've uncovered some unusual financial discrepancies. Several bureaucrats with modest salaries have amassed tens of millions of dollars in net worth during their employment. One example involves a woman who walked away with approximately $30,000,000. This is particularly notable in USAID. We're investigating the source of this wealth. Perhaps they are skilled investors, but it seems more likely that this wealth accumulation is occurring at the expense of the organization. We're looking into it and trying to determine where this money originated.

Our federal bureaucracy must be responsive to the people; that's fundamental to our democracy. Currently, this unelected bureaucracy holds excessive power, exceeding that of elected officials – a situation unacceptable to the public. We must address this imbalance. Furthermore, our $2 trillion deficit demands immediate attention. Failure to act will lead to national bankruptcy. The interest payments on our national debt now surpass even our defense budget, a truly alarming reality given our substantial defense spending. We must find a solution to this critical financial problem.

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.

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.

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!

It seems odd that many people in the bureaucracy with salaries of a few hundred thousand dollars somehow accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while in their positions. We're curious where this wealth comes from. Maybe they're good at investing, and we should seek their advice. But mysteriously, they get wealthy, and we don't know why. The reality is that they're likely getting wealthy at the taxpayer's expense, and that's the honest truth.
