Government Spending: The Unbelievable Credit Card Scandal
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just dropped a bombshell. We’re talking about one of the most jaw-dropping cases of government waste in recent memory. The federal government has a staggering 4.6 million active credit cards in play, racking up an eye-popping 90 million transactions and almost $40 billion in spending for Fiscal Year 2024 alone.
This isn’t small potatoes. That kind of cash could fund border security, veterans’ healthcare, or even dish out some tax cuts for hardworking Americans. Instead, it’s being blown by bureaucrats who treat taxpayer dollars like their personal piggy bank.
Leading the charge in this fiscal free-for-all? The Department of Defense (DOD). They’ve got a mind-boggling 2.4 million individual accounts and managed to rack up 27.2 million transactions in just one year. Sure, we all support our troops, but let’s get real—this isn’t all about national security. How much is going toward overpriced “diversity training” seminars or woke Pentagon projects?
President Trump isn’t sitting on his hands with this one. After DOGE’s report came out, he fired off a fiery memo demanding “radical transparency” across all government agencies. His words hit the nail on the head:
“The United States Government spends too much money on programs, contracts, and grants that do not promote the interests of the American people.”
Bingo! For years, our tax dollars have been funneled into ridiculous pet projects here and abroad. How much went to left-wing NGOs, gender studies in Pakistan, or climate change propaganda? Americans are fed up watching their hard-earned cash vanish while their own communities are left wanting.
Trump has drawn a line in the sand: No more blank checks for Washington insiders. He wants every federal department to lay it all out there—publish full details of any program, contract, or grant that’s been axed so Americans can see where their money was squandered.
And let’s face it—this is just scratching the surface. DOGE is digging deeper, and you can bet more shocking revelations are on the way. The swamp has been siphoning off taxpayer money for decades but under Trump’s leadership? We finally have someone ready to blow the lid off this corrupt system.
The era of reckless spending needs to end now. Washington elites better buckle up because accountability is coming—and it won’t be pretty.
