Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has struck a blow against bureaucratic excess, deactivating over 200,000 credit cards across 16 federal agencies. A Fox News report revealed that an audit exposed these cards as unused or unnecessary, saving taxpayers billions. This is just the opening salvo in a war on waste, rooted in President Trump’s vision to dismantle the entrenched deep state.
The Audit That Shook Washington
DOGE launched a pilot program to audit federal credit cards, and the results were staggering. Over 200,000 cards were canceled in just three weeks, targeting agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (43,700 travel cards, 2,235 purchase cards) and the Interior Department (20,000 purchase cards, 40,000 travel cards). With 4.6 million active cards initially, DOGE’s X post signaled more cuts ahead, spotlighting HHS and Interior for their progress.
“Weekly Credit Card Update! Pilot program with 16 agencies to audit unused/unneeded credit cards. After 3 weeks, >200,000 cards have been de-activated. Great progress this past week by @HHSGov @Interior.” — @DOGEofficial102, November 18, 2024, 11:30 AM EST
Trump’s Vision in Action
President Trump’s pledge to “drain the swamp” takes tangible form with DOGE. By tapping Elon Musk—a proven disruptor—Trump has unleashed a force to slash government fat. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s a statement of accountability, proving Trump’s leadership delivers where others merely talk, aligning with his relentless push for a leaner, more responsive government.
Exposing the Deep State’s Excess
The audit peels back the curtain on a bloated bureaucracy that’s thrived in the shadows. A Breitbart News report uncovered Pentagon waste—$500,000 squandered at casinos and sporting events, $1.2 billion in unchecked transactions. This is the deep state at work: unaccountable, unchecked, and bleeding taxpayers dry. DOGE’s $105 billion in savings so far is a direct strike against that corrupt core.
Patriots Rising
America’s patriots can’t ignore this fight. DOGE’s early wins—shredding waste while spotlighting fraud—echo Trump’s mission to reclaim our government.
