The Department of Government Efficiency has been like a force of nature since Donald Trump took office and Elon Musk set the DOGE loose to uncover waste in the government. And oh, what waste and fraud they’ve found, from our funding of jihadists and extreme social justice programs overseas through USAID to the discovery of $1.9 billion that Biden’s Housing and Urban Development Department “misplaced.”
We all knew that there was plenty of funny business going on, but some of what DOGE has found has been truly jaw-dropping.
It doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop either, as DOGE announced on Saturday night that the Small Business Administration had loaned hundreds of millions of dollars to small enterprises during the COVID pandemic. Sounds fine, right?
Except for the fact that the business owners in these cases were all 11 years old or younger:
Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE · Follow In 2020-2021, SBA granted 5,593 loans for $312M to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these 5,593 loans, as they all also used… Show more Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE In 2020-2021, @SBAgov issued 3,095 loans, including PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) and EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan), for $333M to borrowers over 115 years old who were still marked as alive in the Social Security database.
In one case, a 157 years old individual… 4:10 AM · Mar 9, 2025

Cause we keep reading about this yet how many people have been indicted?
“Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, yes, and proud we are of all of them.”
Apparently, you are not paying attention. If you did you would know that the DOGE team is charges with finding the waste and corruption. The responsible agency is then notified and takes action.
Your rant is misguided and premature
HOORAY individuals at DOGE! Can you get names and faces of these people receiving and sending our tax dollars?
Takes further investigation to prosecute. It might be the case that DoJ doesn’t have enough manpower resources to prosecute all the cases.
Problem is, there is so much fraud that the new agency would probably completely absorb the layoffs.
Net zero indeed.
They are finding billions, but most of it can’t be clawed back so the dems are downplaying the savings. What they (and Thomas Massie) don’t see is the stops that will be in place for the first budget in 20 years for 2026.
Even finding and prosecuting the thieves won’t get the money back
I'm still waiting to see Hitlery do the perp walk in shackles and orange jump suit. And that's from 2016.
Don't post to me again. You're boring.
As you know, it's not DOGE's job to prosecute the guilty fraudsters or even to gather the evidence.
And it’s too early to expect prosecutions because fraud investigations take time, requiring forensic accounting, witness testimony, and legal scrutiny before charges can be filed.
DOGE must first refer cases to law enforcement (DOJ, FBI), which then conducts its own investigations. White-collar fraud cases are complex, especially when involving government contracts or international money flows, often taking months or years to untangle. Additionally, political and bureaucratic resistance can and will delay or obstruct prosecutions.
If this fraud is as massive as Trump and Musk have hinted, its investigation and prosecution will shake the world. But it won’t happen overnight.
Big difference between "all" and "none." We're currently at the latter.
“So, the corruption is so vast that Team Musk can do little more than expose the culprits? No charges of fraud against the perps? No clawing back the funds from the personal accounts of our “elected pimps and whores” who have profited?”
So do you think Trump is a FRAUD? If not, then you must think he’s an idiot for letting Musk run around making a fool of him.
Maybe in some kids needed money to expand their lemonade stands.
Color me skeptical. With a treasonous Kongress and equally disreputable sKotus and low level, low IQ prostitutes on federal benches, I'm not getting my hopes up.
Kudos to team Trump and Musk. But ...
Good work by the DOGE team .... but I can’t help thinking all these reports provide a distraction from the Epstein file. Where does that stand? Its release has seemed to disappear.
Your rant is misguided and premature
Your admonition is premature. We have not heard of any responsible agency taking action against the waste and corruption, be it against the fraudsters or the bureaucrats that allowed.
Plenty of clawing back has been done.
For example they clawed back the $59 million sent to that hotel in New York for illegals.
Prosecutions will follow in due time.
This is going to be a counterrevolution. A casting off of the shackles of the Marxist Democrats.
They won't give up without total war.
