President Donald Trump cut off federal workers’ credit cards for the next 30 days as part of his most recent DOGE-related executive order.
The order, signed Wednesday behind closed doors, freezes credit card transactions for all feds unless they’re working on ‘disaster relief’ or on ‘critical services’ as deemed by their agency head.
The U.S. government currently has about 4.6 million active credit cards.
Around 90 million unique transactions were swiped in 2024, amounting to around $40 billion, according to DOGE, which cited data from the General Services Administration.
In a February 18 post to X, the DOGE account highlighted the credit card spending and said that the Elon Musk-run group would ‘simplify the program and reduce admin costs.’
‘[W]e will report back in 1 week,’ the post also said.
Trump’s latest DOGE executive order also makes federal workers justify their travel expenses.
The order instructs the agency heads to ‘build a technological system within each agency that centrally records approval for federally funded travel for conferences and other non-essential purposes.’
Go Trump Go !!!!
Hopefully the gravy train is over for these parasites.
