Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team are still at it, despite unconscionable attacks by the left and even the terrorism against Tesla, one of Musk’s companies.
DOGE has made some stunning discoveries. They also cleaned up a lot of waste. They even helped identify alleged illegal voting.
So far, DOGE is reporting $160 billion in savings, which is almost $1,000 per taxpayer.
Now DOGE has discovered something else that is concerning. Elon rightly calls it a “big deal.”
Last week, Treasury went live with its first automated payment verification system. In total, $334 million in improper payment requests were identified and rejected due to:-Missing budget codes
-Invalid budget codes (i.e. the payment was not linked to the budget)
-Budget codes with no authorization (i.e. the budget had already been fully spent)
