WASHINGTON — President Biden’s administration used $267 million of your money to study “misinformation” since he took office, a new report reveals — as President-elect Donald Trump vows to purge the term from the federal lexicon and make sweeping spending cuts.
The cash doled out to universities, nonprofits and companies peaked at $126 million in 2021 while US public health officials were imposing mandates they later admitted had no scientific basis, the taxpayer-transparency group OpenTheBooks said in its report Friday.
The scope of the “misinformation” grant-making emerged as Trump’s advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) looks for areas to trim wasteful spending.
“When it comes to government spending, the truth is often stranger than fiction,” entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who is leading the DOGE with billionaire Elon Musk, told The Post regarding the findings.

“We’re gearing up to fix the egregious waste of taxpayer dollars,” Ramaswamy said.
This money wasting must stop. People are struggling just to survive and the government employees are wasting vast amounts of our tax money on bullshit. Taxes could be lowered by 50% if someone responsible was spending it. Donald Trump and Elon Musk is the people to we need to stop this outrageous behavior.
