🇺🇸WASHINGTON BLOAT MEETS DOGE'S BITE The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon, is a bold step toward slashing federal waste - an issue that balloons budgets and erodes public trust. Over the last 2 days alone, agencies terminated 522 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $285M and savings of $110M. DOGE’s mission is to streamline government operations, eliminate redundancies, and cut bloated programs. This isn’t a radical idea; it’s standard practice in private businesses. In the private sector, companies routinely audit processes, trim inefficiencies, and optimize resources to stay competitive. Think of Amazon’s relentless focus on operational efficiency or Tesla’s lean production systems. These firms cut waste not to shortchange employees or customers but to deliver value. DOGE has brought this mindset to Washington, where federal spending has ballooned to $6.8 trillion annually, with significant chunks lost to bureaucratic overlap and outdated programs. For example, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) flagged 88 federal programs across multiple agencies with duplicative goals, costing billions. Private businesses would merge or eliminate such redundancies to save capital and boost performance. DOGE’s push to identify and cut these inefficiencies mirrors that logic, ensuring taxpayer dollars aren’t squandered. This isn’t about slashing essential services - it’s about accountability. Just as businesses refine operations without compromising quality, DOGE can make government leaner while preserving its core functions. A more efficient government benefits everyone, from taxpayers to those relying on public services. Source: @DOGE
