Picture career bureaucrats sitting in cushy government offices making six figures to shuffle papers and create never-ending red tape.
Meanwhile, the national debt “climbs higher than Mount Everest on steroids.”
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
President Trump just dropped a bombshell that has the Washington establishment trembling. On Wednesday, he signed a powerful executive order giving DOGE expanded authority to slash wasteful government spending and hold agencies accountable.
From The Daily Wire:
President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to ‘further reign in government waste and officially implement’ the Department of Government Efficiency’s ‘cost efficiency initiative.’
The order requires each federal agency head to work directly with DOGE teams. They must identify where government contracts and grants can be terminated or modified.
This is not just another toothless directive.
It is a bulldozer aimed straight
at the heart of government waste.
The executive order creates a comprehensive system forcing agencies to justify their spending. Each department must provide written justification for payments.
They must explain federally funded travel for conferences and other non-essential purposes.
Perhaps most shocking to the bureaucrats: a 30-day freeze on all agency credit cards. No more last-minute spending sprees to use up budgets before fiscal year-end. The order specifically prioritizes:
[Reviewing] funds disbursed under covered contracts and grants to educational institutions and foreign entities for waste, fraud, and abuse.
During his first cabinet meeting, Trump didn’t mince words about the mission.
He declared:
We’re cutting down the size of government. We have to.
We’re bloated. We’re sloppy. We have a lot of people that aren’t doing their job.
Elon Musk, who influences DOGE’s actions, spoke candidly at the cabinet meeting about America’s dire financial situation.
He explained:
The overall goal here with the DOGE team is to address the enormous deficit.
We simply cannot sustain as a country two-trillion-dollar deficits. Just the interest on the debt now exceeds the Defense Department spending.
That’s right—we are paying more in interest on our national debt than we spend defending our country. Let that sink in while liberal academics demand more funding for their “critical studies” departments.
Musk clarified that DOGE aims to find a 15%
reduction in fraud and waste across government agencies.
Despite media attempts to portray Musk as the DOGE administrator, that role actually belongs to Amy Gleason, a healthcare executive who worked for both the Trump and Obiden administrations.
Predictably, the left is freaking out.
According to reports:
[The executive order has] become concerning for some critics.
Translation: Bureaucrats who have built careers on wasteful spending are worried their gravy train is about to derail.
Some government workers are so upset about potential cuts they have resigned in protest. A group of 21 former DOGE staffers dramatically quit.
[They claim they] will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems.
What they really mean: They will not help stop the reckless spending that’s bankrupting America.
When Trump was asked if cabinet members were unhappy with Musk’s work, he said:
[Some might] disagree a little bit, [but added,] For the most part, I think everyone is not only happy, but thrilled.
The Washington establishment’s panic tells us everything we need to know.
When bureaucrats start sweating, taxpayers start winning.
Judging by the liberal meltdown, Americans may soon get their first tax break in decades—less government waste.
And, of course, those of us who have doubted it, be assured “Ultimate Accountability” is coming. The words, ‘This must be done to ensure it never happens again,’ are being spoken by the newly appointed.
