The spread of DOGE-centric legislation and bureaucracies has taken off like a SpaceX rocket in several states across the country since Elon Musk and lawmakers like Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., began their work this year.
Bean, chair of the bipartisan DOGE Caucus, was asked about copycat initiatives popping up around the country and remarked, "America has DOGE fever."
"As elected officials, we must ensure we are good stewards of taxpayer dollars. This means we must identify, investigate and eliminate wasteful spending."

This was their job all along
That Congress and state Legislatures failed to do even these least amount of basic oversite for decades should enrage voters
I think this is the biggest argument for term limits.

We should amend the Constitution.

can fedgov require that states have a DOGE type audit to receive fed funds?
would that pass muster?
My father was on a commission to try and track down all of WV state government assets. It was a nightmare, the state employee unionistas fought it tooth and nail and it became a political liability to the legislators. I was in college at the time, so I never heard all the details. I’m not sure it was ever completed.
Every county. Every town. Gads, how much grift in the name of “compassion” can a responsible people endure?
Aww, what a calamity... /s
Go states go!
It might. Redo the revenue sharing legislation and make passing an audit contingent on get the federal funds.
That is so awesome. It took one person to make this acceptable.
DOGE can audit every state and city IF they want federal highway money or any federal funds.
“We have to know how you are spending OUR money before we keep giving it to you.”
ebt and snap recipients are the hardest hit...
America has a fever...and the only cure is DOGE!
My grandpa who worked in the FAA had some position to cut costs and when I was a child I remember at the table hearing stories of insane waste that my tough old grandpa would whittle away. He would laugh and be proud of how he was hated but how much $ he would save the govt.
Missouri would be interesting considering half of it’s $50 billion budget is spending fedgov grant money.
BTTT
As far as Texas goes, there needs to be an investigation as to why we have runaway property taxes while we have a $28 Billion budget surplus and our governor is getting off to Asia to throw out Texas Enterprise funds like it’s Mardigras beads.
