Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are tasked with cutting down the $6,750,000,000,000 that the federal government spent in 2024 under their new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The group will work outside the government to “dismantle bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies,” according to a statement from President-elect Donald Trump. John Hart, CEO of watchdog Open the Books, which monitors fiscal waste, told The Post they will curb “spending that has been on autopilot where there’s no real thought or purpose behind it.”
Finding areas to cut isn’t hard — many jaw-dropping examples are revealed in the government’s own reports. Here are some of the first gravy trains expected to be derailed:
...
Dead people cashing in
...
Russian cat research
...
$50 million monkey business... Spending by the NIH
...
Drag shows in Ecuador
...
Empty federal buildings..
Federal agencies are using on average 12% of the space in their headquarters
...
The General Services Administration is spending $2 billion annually to maintain government-owned offices and $5 billion to lease space.
DEI rages on..
The Department of Health and Human Services hired 294 employees at a cost of $38.7 million to oversee diversity, equity and inclusion
...
Handouts to China
...
Arming the EPA
