Elon Musk and his team at the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) told the public last night how much taxpayer money the government is wasting.
Dogears has already exposed the US Organization for International Development (USAID) as a free money trough on the far left. Millions of dollars have been spent promoting sexual perversion overseas.
However, their interview with Fox News Brett Bayer last night revealed that more must be done to keep the waste down. Example: Stop federal loans to toddlers and update computer systems from around 50 years ago.
Waste
Musk notes that Doge hopes to cut his deficit by $1 trillion and cut his spending by 15%, saying, “The government's vast amounts of waste and fraud are amazing. That's amazing. We encounter over $1 billion on a daily basis.”
A government investigation that should cost $10,000 using Surveymonkey would cost nearly $1 billion instead, Musk reported.
Do you like $1 billion for a quick online survey, national parks? And it seemed there was no feedback loop on what would happen in that investigation. Therefore, the investigation does not include anything.
Musk believes he will save $1 trillion in the 130 days he has to work for Doge.
“Our goal is to cut waste and fraud by $4 billion a day, seven days a week,” Tesla Tycoon said. “And so far, we've been successful.”
Another big waste of money that Musk described was the small business management loans to go to toddlers.
Over $300 million was given to people under the age of 11. In fact, to add that, it would cost over $300 million for under the age of 11 and over $300 million for those over the age of 120.”
The youngest beneficiary was nine months old.
Once upon a time, Stanley Armstrong of Morgan Stanley explained how bad things can be with the Internal Revenue Service.
“You have an overstaffing,” he told Beyer:
A good example of overstaffing is that the IRS has 1,400 people dedicated to provisioning laptops and mobile phones. So joining the IRS will get a laptop and a mobile phone. You are provisioned.
Therefore, if each of these IRS officers or employees provisions two employees per day, the entire IRS can be provided in more than a month. Therefore, 12 times a year, you can regenerate. Why are there 1,400 people who are the job of handing over laptops and phones? You can process the entire IRS once a month. So that doesn't make sense.
Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, of course, discussed the Treasury Department, which is likely to be looking at the taxpayer dime.
“There are $500 billion in scams every year,” he told Baier. “There are hundreds of billions of inappropriate payments. You can't pass an audit.”
To explain the scale of government spending, Krause said 580 agencies have access to the Treasury. “Imagine, you're a family. You have a bank account,” he said:
Everyone has an ATM card connected to that account. Everyone has a checkbook connected to that account. It's not just your kids. It's not just your parents. That's your in-laws. It's your big family. And they can all go to the account and diversify the funds. No questions. There is no justification. No verification.
Waste spending
What Dogger is revealing everything is why Democrats on the far left and many federal officials are so infuriated.
Last month, the Doggers exposed this MADCAP spending, as reported by a new American citing the Daily Mail.
• $30 million to study South Africa's prostitutes and “transgender” aid since 2018.
• Serbian “LGBTQ” attires are “$1.5 million to promote the equity and inclusion of diversity in the Serbian workplace and business community, and by promoting economic empowerment and opportunities for Serbian LGBTQI+ people.”
•$2.5 million for a Vietnamese electric vehicle.
• $47,000 for Colombian “transgender” opera. and
• $32,000 for Peru's Trans Comic-Book program.

•$2 million in Moroccan ceramic class.
•$2 million to promote tourism to Lebanon.
•$20 million for the Sesame Street Show in Iraq.
•Send Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week. and
•$1 million for Wuhan Lab's dangerous research.
Doge also found that government agencies are not using even 50% of their office space, and that federal buildings are empty, and that only 12% of their office space is occupied. Less than 500 of the Ministry of Agriculture's 7,400 employees used the office.
Centenarian Social Security
But perhaps the most compelling evidence that the government is out of control was this Doge's discovery. Approximately 20 million people live, and is found in the Social Security Database. 363 million people are 110-119 years old, 3.8 million people are 120-129 years old, almost 4 million people are 130-139, and about 3.5 million people are 140-149.
Additionally, 1.3 million years old are 150 to 159 years old, while 448 years old are over 190 years old. One person found in the database was almost 400 years ago.
Software engineer Aram Moghaddassi provided Baier with possible explanations.
“I say the first thing that really made me excited about Doge was basically learning about the state of government computers,” he told Baier.
Some estimates are that the government costs around $100 billion, and for things like Social Security and the IRS, it's a funding system that's more than 50 years old. So the really important system is old.
