ELON AND VIVEK'S FIRST TARGET: $6.75T OF GOVERNMENT WASTE

A deep dive into federal spending reveals some truly jaw-dropping examples of waste that Trump's new DOGE team will tackle:

THE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING:

$1.3B sent to dead people

$171M in benefits to prisoners

$101B in improper Medicare payments

$70B more planned for "COVID response" through 2026

$7B annually for mostly empty federal buildings

Former retired officials like Fauci still getting $15M security details

The waste gets even more bizarre: $549K for Russian cat experiments, $3.7M to study gambling monkeys, and $20K for drag shows in Ecuador.

"If IRS employees can't figure out how to pay their taxes, how do the rest of us?" says watchdog CEO John Hart, noting that even IRS workers owed $50M in unpaid taxes.

This is exactly why Elon and Vivek will post all DOGE actions online - to expose and eliminate what Hart calls "spending that has been on autopilot where there's no real thought or purpose behind it."
