Sky News host Gabriella Power says the latest DOGE discovery is “absolutely insane”. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has claimed millions of dollars in unemployment insurance claims have gone to “fake people” who aren’t even born yet. DOGE claimed an initial review found that since 2020, 9,700 people whose birth dates aren’t for another 15 years have claimed $US69 million in benefits, which are administered by state governments. Elon Musk posted on X, “Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future!” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also announced he is terminating $US5.1 billion worth of contracts and services including contracts for DEI and COVID response at the Department of Defense. "We are committed to rooting out DEI,” Mr Hegseth said on Thursday.

March Deficit Unexpectedly Tumbles To 5 Year Low As DOGE Cracks Down On Democrat Money-Laundering Schemes

by Tyler Durden

One month ago, when looking at the latest US Treasury income and spending, or as it is better known, deficit, data we found something shocking: the last months of the Biden admin were marked by spending unlike anything ever seen before, in fact, spending in the first six months of fiscal 2025 surpassed even the crisis 2020 and 2021 when the US injected trillions into the economy.



Then Elon Musk's DOGE came on the scene... and thing changed quickly.

Earlier today the Treasury published its revenue and spending report for the month of March, the first month when DOGE was fully operational, and the results were interesting. As shown in the chart below, in March total US government receipts were $368 billion, while spending totaled $528 billion.



The difference between how much money the US brought in vs how much it spent, means that in March the US budget deficit was $161 billion. Which sounds like a lot (it is) until you realize that in February the deficit was almost twice as much, or $307 billion. And compared to the $236 billion deficit a year ago, 2025 was a solid 32% lower.



How come? Well, first of all receipts rose 10.7% to $367.6BN. Which is good. But what was great is that spending, which has traditionally been the real problem, actually shrank by 7.1% to $528.2BN.



And this is where DOGE came in.

While various mandatory spending categories posted continued gradual increases - after all, these require an act of Congress to be revised - there was a huge, $45 billion drop in Income Security, from $105 billion in February to $60 billion in March, the largest one month decline since June 2021 as Elon ripped up much of the massive fraudulent fund flow network Democrats had established in recent decades and covered up simply as 'income security' (see "Elon Musk alleges $50B in fraud at Treasury after judge blocks DOGE audit", Elon Musk’s DOGE discovers millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for ‘fake people’, Elon Musk Says DOGE Will Produce Savings Of $150 Billion In FY2026) when it really was a giant slush fund used for everything from graft, to corruption, to bribes, to paying leftist media for favorable coverage.


The result: the March US deficit was the lowest since 2020 before the covid crash, and down $76 billion from a year ago.



That's the good news. The bad news is that despite the sharp drop in the March deficit, the longer-term trendline in spending vs income remains unsustainable as the following chart shows.



And another way of showing it: yes, the blue line (income security), dropped but everything else continues to rise...



... and especially interest expense, which as of the end of Biden's admin, at Dec 2024, hit a new record high of $1.124 trillion LTM, which is more than double where it was when Biden walked into the White House in Q1 2021.



Bottom line: While March was the first month in which we saw the budget-busting effect of DOGE finally come to the fore, the Sisyphean challenge for the Dept of Government Efficiency is just starting, because while a $50BN drop in "Income Security" and a $76 billion decline in the deficit YoY is a terrific start, the reality is that this is a mere drop in the bucket for the unsustainable trajectory which the US is on, and if Trump, Musk, DOGE and the majority of Americans truly hope to rightsize the US balance sheet, a lot more work - and as the last few days have shown - a lot more pain is coming.

DOGE update from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “We're back with another update on cutting wasteful spending here at DOGE, and this one is, as they say, a big one. This is a big day. We're signing a memo right now directing the termination of $5.1 billion in DOGE contracts—not million, that's with a B—$5.1 billion in DOGE contracts for ancillary things like consulting and other non-essential services.



So here's a few examples: DHA contracts for consulting services from Accenture, Deloitte, Booz Allen, and other firms are going to save the department $1.8 billion. How about a software reseller contract for enterprise cloud IT services, saving the department $1.4 billion? A $500 million Navy contract for business process consulting—again, process, lots of process, lots of consultant—for administrative offices in the Bureau of Medicine. By the way, we need this money to spend on better healthcare for our warfighters and their families instead of $500 an hour business process consultants. That's a lot of consulting.

How about this: a DARPA contract for IT help desk services that are completely duplicative with services already provided by our DISA workforce, saving the department another $500 million. We're also terminating, on the DEI front, 11 more contracts for DEI, climate, COVID-19 response, and related non-essential activities across the department. We are committed to rooting out DEI—root and branch—throughout this department, and we've found 11 more contracts and we're going to keep looking.

So that's $5.1 billion in DOGE contracts we're getting rid of. On top of that, in support of the President's priorities to stop federal funding for academic institutions that tolerate anti-Semitism and support divisive DEI programs, this week, DOGE is also pausing over $500 million in funding to Northwestern University and Cornell University, and that's on top of the $70 million in funding we've already paused at Columbia, Penn, Brown, and Princeton over the last few weeks— as if any of these institutions need more government money at all.

So, for you keeping score at home, today's cuts bring our running total to nearly $6 billion in wasteful spending over the first six weeks of the DOGE effort here at the Defense Department. Their job is to go out and find the stuff that we can get rid of and then flow back into—drive back into—warfighting capabilities here at the Defense Department. So we want to thank our friends at DOGE, we want to thank all the folks here that have helped us unpack this, reveal it, and we're excited to m

Elon Musk looks back on 100 days of DOGE, previews future of the 'long-term enterprise'

Musk and members of the DOGE team sat down for an exclusive interview on 'Jesse Watters Primetime

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=8uhiwIFUoKQ

As President Donald Trump marked his 100th day in office on Tuesday, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said it has cut at least $160 billion in waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

While the department has made several high-profile cuts during the Trump administration's first 100 days, DOGE head Elon Musk shared that Trump's cost-cutting is just getting started.

"It's a long-term enterprise," Musk said during an exclusive interview Thursday on "Jesse Watters Primetime." "Because if we take our eye off the ball, the waste and fraud will come roaring back."

Watters joined Musk and several team members at the DOGE headquarters, including "Big Balls," who revealed the story behind his nickname and detailed his work rooting out fraud and waste.

The DOGE minds elaborated on more shocking discoveries from the department's first months during their "Jesse Watters Primetime" exclusive.

With no plans of slowing down, DOGE has made a number of consequential and controversial cuts in recent months.

One of the most talked-about DOGE targets in Trump's first term was spending at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3WnHsdChjBY

Fox News Digital previously reported that nearly 15,000 grants worth $60 billion are set to be eliminated, according to internal documents. The grants amount to about 90% of foreign aid contracts and come after a review on spending by the State Department.

DOGE's efforts at USAID did not come without opposition, including a federal judge in Maryland who ruled that the moves were likely unconstitutional. In March, a federal appeals court granted the Trump administration's motion to extend a stay allowing DOGE to continue operating at USAID.

DOGE has also announced over the past few months that it has cut hundreds of millions in DEI contracts and made efforts to cut federal spending by trimming the federal workforce.

"If there's one group of people who really have a shot at success, it's the people here. They're up until 2 a.m. Monday through Sunday. DOGE does not recognize weekends," one DOGE member told Fox News host Jesse Watters.

Elon Musk Reveals DOGE Discovered 100,000 Federal Employees Were Collecting Unemployment Insurance Who Were Active Employees!

Elon Musk: We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees. They’re active employees who nonetheless applied for and have received unemployment insurance. While they’re federal employees? Yes. Wow. And this appears to be at least 100,000 people.

FEDERAL NON-DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS DROP 20.5% UNDER DOGE ORDER

Non-defense federal obligations for 2025 are down 20.5% from last year—and the cash outlay curve is about to follow.

The driver:

Persistent government-wide contract reviews targeting wasteful spending under the DOGE Cost Efficiency Executive Order.

Trump’s directive to streamline the federal sprawl is hitting real numbers now, not just headlines.

With obligations shrinking before payouts, it’s a sign that cutting through bureaucracy might finally be cheaper than fueling it.

Accountability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s starting to dent the federal checkbook.

$646M IN DEAD WEIGHT GONE AS DOGE SLASHES 242 FEDERAL CONTRACTS

Since Friday, DOGE axed 242 federal contracts worth a potential $646 million, delivering $200 million in immediate savings.

Gone are projects like a $118K “youth climate corps coordinator” in the Congo and $23.5K in taxpayer-funded poolside landscaping in South Africa.

The move highlights DOGE’s ongoing crackdown on bloated spending buried in foreign aid and bureaucratic pet projects.

Efficiency isn’t a slogan—it’s now a line item with teeth.

Has anyone ever wondered how the government funded UFO research without public knowledge, or how the CIA funded their black operations programs, or how about the joint military/CIA MKULTRA experiments? Well no need to wonder anymore. This is one of the DOGE team's simplest yet most profound discoveries.

Lawmakers Sound Alarn After DOGE Digs Up Untraceable Treasury Payments

GOP senators rail against staggering $4.7 trillion in untraceable Treasury payments


Earlier this year, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable Treasury Department payments.

Prior to the discovery, Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) identification codes were optional for $4.7 trillion in Treasury Department payments, so they were often left blank and were untraceable. The field is now required to increase "insight into where the money is actually going," the Treasury Department and DOGE announced in February.

"Of the 1.5 billion payments that we send out every year, they are required to have a TAS, a Treasury Account Symbol. We discovered that more than one third of those payments did not have a TAS number," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government earlier this month.

Fox News Digital asked Republican senators on Capitol Hill to respond to the approximately 500,000 in untraceable payments made by the Treasury Department each year.

"I'm not surprised at all, unfortunately," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, said before adding, "They were leaving complete fields undone when they were filling out their financials, so this is a common theme. I'm not surprised."

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, called for an investigation into where those payments actually went.

"There's so much waste. There's so much fraud, There's so much abuse in our government," Schmitt told Fox News Digital. "I'm glad there was a laser-like focus on it. We ought to make many of those reforms permanent, but there probably ought to be some investigations here about where this money actually went. I mean this is taxpayer money. People work hard."

After DOGE and the Treasury Department uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable funds, Marshall and Sen. Rick Scott of Florida introduced a bill in March requiring the Treasury Department to track all payments.

The Locating Every Disbursement in Government Expenditure Records (LEDGER) Act seeks to increase transparency in how the Treasury Department spends taxpayer money.

"When you hear about this story that they didn't know where the money was going, it makes you mad because this is somebody's money, this is taxpayers' money when we have almost $37 trillion in debt, so this makes no sense at all," Scott said.

The Congressional Budget projects that interest payments on America's national debt will total $952 billion in fiscal year 2025. That's $102 billion more than the United States' defense budget at $850 billion.

"We paid out more last year on our debt, $36 trillion in debt, with $950 billion in interest going to bondholders all over the world, including in China. That $950 billion didn't go to build a bridge or an F-35. We paid more on the interest on debt than we did to fund our military," said Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska.

"That is an inflection point that when most countries hit, you look at history, that's when great powers start to decline. So we have to get those savings."

2 minute video clip from the senate appropriations committee hearing at the LINK


Yesterday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright testified that during the 76-day window between Trump’s election and Biden’s departure from office, the Biden administration’s Department of Energy distributed an astonishing $93 billion in taxpayer funds through loans. Many of these loans reportedly went to individuals and businesses with no clear business plan or viable concept.

To put that in perspective: in just 76 days, the Biden administration handed out more than twice the amount the Department of Energy had issued in loans over the entire previous 15 years combined.

So when Washington, D.C., and others had a meltdown over DOGE disclosures, this is why—they were unearthing excesses like this.

Make no mistake: the United States—and the world—is in the midst of an economic reset. These disclosures aren’t random; they’re part of a broader shift. In effect, the U.S. is being forced into a form of bankruptcy reorganization, and revelations like this are signs of what’s unfolding beneath the surface.

I have not analyzed this and have not formed an opinion, but here is a counter-argument(?):

Stephen Miller
@StephenM

I see some self-described libertarians siding with lefty bureaucrats at CBO who claim the Big Beautiful Bill will “explode the debt.” This is based entirely on CBO claiming that extending the current tax rates (not raising them) will “cost” the government $4 trillion in revenue.

Since when have libertarians argued that NOT raising taxes “costs” the government money? Private money yet to be earned does not “belong” to the government. This is a Democrat-collectivist argument and I’m shocked to see libertarians deploying it.

Under this ludicrous theory, one could raise taxes to 90% on everyone and declare the deficit solved.

BBB cuts taxes, cuts spending, reforms welfare and *ends mass migration*.

On the last point, anyone serious about limited government and improving America’s financial health would understand that ending mass migration is the prerequisite for every other problem we wish to solve.

Of course, true libertarians don’t believe in borders at all…

The guy that lied about a 9-0 decision against the administration and who was just a few weeks ago tap dancing around the idea of suspending habeas corpus is trying to lecture libertarians on economic policy and limiting government over a bill that decreases taxes without decreasing spending, which necessarily leads to inflationary action by the government.

A friendly reminder why Bono cares so much about USAID .

[Mike]

I may have been imagining it, but while I was watching the Bono interview i got the distinct impression that he was sent there with the sole purpose of getting Rogan to change his mind on Trump and Elon (or at least plant a seed).

His statements like "I wanna know what you think about all this" and "tell me your take on all this" felt like manipulative statements to me. It was oily and insincere. That's what people do when they know direct challenges on someone else's beliefs will likely be rebuffed. He fed Joe a bunch of bullsh!t information and then invited him to comment as a sneaky way of legitimizing it all. To his credit, Joe didn't fall into that trap.

I've always loved U2 music, and I'd love to believe Bono is sincere, but he's spent way too much time with the Clinton's and Bill Gates to get the benefit of the doubt from me. Still, I cant help wondering sometimes if he's just naive and/or too ego invested in his personal connections to really see the truth. And at this point he's so invested in it all that to admit he's been wrong all along would destroy his credibility. He almost has to see this thru to the end now. He's in love with this image of himself as humanitarian artist, and I don't think his ego will ever allow him to surrender it.
