DOGE is a department with broad authority analyzing payment systems across various departments like USAID and the Department of Education. Their goal is to identify waste, fraud, and abuse of power by following the money. This information allows department secretaries and Congress to make necessary changes. Congress, holding the checkbook, will use budget reconciliation to implement DOGE's recommendations. My committee will use this oversight to ensure full transparency for the American people, bringing forward legislative changes and budget suggestions. This collaboration is crucial to address America's debt and secure a brighter future. We must work together to dig ourselves out of debt.
Speaker 0: Well, DOGE DOGE is a is a special department and it has broad overreaching authority. And so what they're doing is they're going in each department and they're analyzing the payment systems. For example, payment systems within USAID. They're going to be analyzing payment systems in the Department of Education and they're looking at where do the checks go. Follow the money.
That's the most important thing that we can do to realize where money is being wasted, where there's fraud and where there's actually abuse of power. And that is exactly what Doge is doing. It is uncovering all of that. And that means that secretaries of departments, for example, secretary of education, secretary of commerce, secretary of the treasury, they can make changes within their departments on where money is being spent. But it's also very important for congress to make those changes.
The house holds the checkbook and we have to do a budget reconciliation. We have to put together a budget. And so we have to put into place the, basically the recommendations, and the changes that Elon Musk and his very smart team of of young men, on Doge are actually suggesting. But we can do that through the Doge committee. That's what my committee is going to do, is we're also going to be using this very important powerful oversight subcommittee to highlight intensely with full transparency for the American people, exactly what Elon Musk and Doge is finding.
And then we're going to be bringing forward the legislative changes, bills that need to be passed, and suggestions that need to be made through appropriations in our budget committee. This is how you make real changes, everyone working together and aligned on this important project that can transform, basically the future of America for generations and generations to come. Debt is going to kill us, but if we dig our way out, we're all gonna be okay.
