To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!
- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE . It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!
Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.
When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!
This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

Adults now in charge?
As an occasional purchasing agent for my employer, I must provide a monthly itemized account for all expenditures as to the amount, the vendor, the reason for the purchase, and the project which will use the materials or services.
I thought that was normal ...
Just like the unconstitutional rulings against Trump in the NY case, SCOTUS could’ve immediately stepped in unsolicited.
Same here, if this was done to Biden or Obama, the Supreme Court (and Roberts) would’ve intervened in an Emergency basis.
They’re hiding behind the figleaf of the Law to eat up Trump’s term.
Adults are definitely in charge now.
But I just wonder...there’s no plotting by semi intelligent people (there are some) on the left?
Just mad maxine in her ghetto voice yelling “get out of the way!”
I dont buy it.
I don’t trust them.
I am thankful Trump is taking no chances this time and I’m sure is preparing for anything.
I will readily admit that I thought Trump winning would just kick the can down the road.
Boy was I wrong.
I have hope for my nephews/nieces and their kids now.
It is, unless a person thinks the purse is bottomless and that no one will check the spending.
Untrue. In theory, perhaps. In reality, nada. Stop living in fantasy world.
I cannot wait until the full DOGE Report is released, especially to Congress.
of course it would be RACIST to stop checks to people (non-citizens) without ID's.
Time for Marshal Law
Traitor Roberts has a bad case of Long TDS.
The thing is, I could provide that accounting just because I’m a nice guy ... but in fact, the system REQUIRES it of me. If I’m late, I get nastygrams. Somebody actually does review my reports; the numbers have to add up, and the rationale has to be at least remotely reasonable.
This is apparently absent in some parts of the government. That’s scandalous.
What are the payment codes for:
• Grifting
• Graft
• Corruption
• Theft
• Bribery
• Extortion
• Shake-downs
• Nepotism
• Other nefarious activities
At Architect / Engineer firms, you need a code for EVERYTHING! You want to make a single copy at the copier? Enter your project code.
Maybe Eliot Musk should tell him that his name's in the ledger too.
Yes, we peons have to cross T’s and dot I’s in fear of the IRS. Almost the same bunch do not track anything.
