The newly appointed chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has declared her intent to scrutinize government expenditure across the board, including media outlets she accuses of disseminating Democratic propaganda.
According to The Post Millennial, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was questioned by Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo regarding her expectations of where she might uncover the most significant instances of government waste. Greene responded, "It's all over, every single government department, program, grant programs, contracts. It is everywhere." She further elaborated on her plans to dissect this pervasive issue that has plunged America into a staggering $36 trillion debt. "We'll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda," Greene stated.
The Georgia representative also expressed her intent to delve into grant programs that fund projects she deems unbeneficial to the American people. "We'll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex acts in Malaysia, toilets in Africa, all kinds of programs that don't help the American people," she said. Greene also mentioned her plans to question Pentagon officials about the billions of dollars that seem to vanish annually and the reasons behind their audit failures.
President-elect Donald Trump has selected billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to spearhead DOGE. Their mission is to identify and eliminate government waste. The duo is tasked with potentially slashing a trillion or more dollars from the US government's annual $6.75 trillion expenditure. Their scrutiny will range from overpriced soap dispensers for the US military to sponsorships of drag shows in Ecuador.
However, this aggressive approach to curbing government waste has sparked anxiety among federal workers. They fear that the new agency's actions will result in substantial cuts to the federal bureaucracy and that the audit will exert immense pressure on employees. Yet, for advocates of limited government and fiscal responsibility, these measures are seen as necessary steps towards reducing the national debt and ensuring the efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
