The swamp creatures in Washington, D.C. thought they could hide their wasteful spending forever.
But the team at DOGE just pulled back the curtain on their latest round of cuts.
And DOGE just exposed one government scam that will make your blood boil.
DOGE cuts another $2 billion in wasteful government contracts
The Department of Government Efficiency announced another massive round of spending cuts this week.
Over just five days, federal agencies terminated 163 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $1.9 billion.
The savings to taxpayers? A whopping $647 million.
But it’s not just the dollar amounts that should outrage every American – it’s what this money was actually being spent on.
DOGE discovered the U.S. Agency for International Development was about to blow $35 million on a contract to "acquire contractor support to establish and manage a flexible, quick response mechanism supporting activities that will support democracy and stability in El Salvador."
Read that twice and tell me it makes sense.
That’s $35 million of your tax dollars to hire some contractor who would then hire another contractor to maybe do something in El Salvador that might help democracy.
It’s contractors all the way down, folks.
The Department of the Interior was ready to spend $280,000 for "horse mounted patrol groom services."
Because apparently federal bureaucrats need their horses to look pretty while they’re out there protecting… what exactly?
Then there’s the State Department’s brilliant plan to spend $179,000 on "customized English language training to the US embassy in Yerevan, Armenia."
Wait, what?
Our embassy staff doesn’t already speak English?
The Department of Transportation wanted to spend $102,000 on an "assessment specialist academics provost office."
That’s a lot of fancy words that add up to absolutely nothing.
And the cherry on top – the Department of the Interior was about to spend $25,000 to "provide facilitation, collaborative problem solving services."
Translation: someone was going to get paid $25,000 to facilitate meetings about solving problems.
The real victims of government waste
Look, here’s what’s really happening.
While families across America are struggling to put food on the table and gas in their cars, Washington bureaucrats are throwing around millions like it’s Monopoly money.
These aren’t isolated incidents – they’re part of a systematic pattern of waste that’s been going on for decades.
Every dollar they waste on these ridiculous contracts is a dollar that comes out of your paycheck.
Your tax dollars were about to pay for English lessons for American diplomats and horse grooming services for government employees.
But it gets worse.
Congress finally used its authority to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which means NPR and PBS are losing their taxpayer funding.
The CPB is shutting down after Congress approved $9 billion in cuts to public media and foreign aid.
That includes $1.1 billion that was set aside for PBS and NPR over the next two years.
For decades, conservatives have been fighting to stop subsidizing left-wing propaganda with taxpayer dollars.
Finally, someone in Washington, D.C. had the backbone to actually do it.
This is just the beginning
You want to know what this really means?
DOGE isn’t just finding waste – they’re exposing how the whole system works.
These contracts aren’t accidents or oversights.
They’re features of a system designed to funnel taxpayer money to connected insiders and favored organizations.
The "horse grooming services" contract sounds ridiculous until you realize someone’s brother-in-law probably owns that company.
The $35 million El Salvador democracy contract was probably going straight into the pockets of some Beltway consulting firm with the right political connections.
This is how the swamp has operated for decades – create vague, meaningless contracts that sound official but really just transfer wealth from taxpayers to politically connected cronies.
But Trump’s team is systematically dismantling this corrupt system one contract at a time.
And the establishment is furious about it.
Every dollar they can’t waste on their pet projects is a dollar they can’t use to buy influence and reward their friends.
The fact that DOGE found $647 million in savings in just five days tells you everything you need to know about how much money has been getting wasted.
If they can find that much waste in less than a week, imagine what they’ll uncover over the next four years.
The American people deserve to know where every tax dollar goes, and Trump’s team is finally giving them that transparency.
This is exactly what voters demanded when they gave Trump a mandate in November – drain the swamp and stop wasting their hard-earned money on government bureaucrats and their connected friends.
DOGE is just getting started, and the swamp creatures are running scared.
