Elon Musk and President Trump Hold Joint Presser on What DOGE Found at Treasury
Total lack of the most basic accounting controls
Basic controls for proper spending at any company are not in place in the US Government. Expenditures do not have a categorization code explaining why the payment was made, the comment fields on why someone was paid are not filled out. There is a do not pay list at Treasury that takes more than a year to get listed on it, but it makes no difference because the list is ignored anyways so money goes to terrorist groups etc.
At Social Security there are people getting paid who are 150 years old. There are people who get paid but there is no other personal information on the person who is getting the money. Social Security also still uses 1950’s technology. Social Security is also not “de-duplicated” so money is sent to different people using the same Social Security number.
In short, there is a complete lack of the most basic spending controls.
Readers may have heard about how FEMA was paying for luxury hotels in new York for illegal aliens? Taxpayers were paying twice the normal room rate at full occupancy.
Trump mentioned without using her name, how a USAID administrator on her government salary amassed a net worth of $30 million in just a few years:
The Government Accounting Office (GAO) came to similar conclusions as DOGE last year:
Readers have also likely seen news reports of a few activist Democrat district court judges making outrageous rulings telling the Trump Administration and the Secretary of the Treasury that essentially they may not audit themselves. Of course this is an outrageous assault on Separation of Powers and in violation of Supreme Court precedent. The Supreme Court ruled in 1866 that district court judges cannot enjoin the president from carrying out his official powers.
“Constitutional crisis” is the phrase of the week… but this isn’t a new talking point. It’s the same exact thing Democrats said in Trump’s first term. The left’s hoaxes are getting awfully stale, but that’s not stopping them from reheating their leftovers.
In the meantime, corporate media is trying to guilt trip Americans over bringing the most basic spending controls to government. You are starving the children etc. unless sex workers in South Africa get their aid.
On a positive note, new DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has paid 80% of existing FEMA claims made by people impacted in North Carolina in just 20 days.
Unbelievable!!!!
