Big changes are coming to Washington. President-elect Donald Trump is launching the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and it’s already making waves.

The mission? Clean up wasteful spending and make the government work for the people again. Heading this bold initiative are none other than Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, two titans of innovation and accountability.

Their goal is simple: cut through the bureaucratic bloat and put an end to the rampant waste that’s draining taxpayer dollars.

DOGE’s efforts could transform the United States. Imagine a government that doesn’t spend billions on nonsense while ignoring the struggles of everyday Americans.

By slashing waste, DOGE promises to redirect funds where they’re needed most—border security, infrastructure, and, yes, maybe even finishing that beautiful border wall.

But, of course, Democrats are in full panic mode. Why? Because DOGE is exposing the very things they’d rather keep hidden.

From The Blaze:
The Department of Government Efficiency underscored this week the staggering cost of the Biden administration’s ongoing immigration crisis, comparing the expense of it to other historic milestones and projects.

Based on data collected by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the planned advisory committee, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, reported that American taxpayers shelled out $150.7 billion in 2023 to address the immigration crisis.

In 2023 alone, illegal immigration cost taxpayers $150.7 billion. To put this in context with other costs (adjusted for inflation):
-World War I: $334 billion
-Apollo Space Program: $257 billion
-Manhattan Project: $30 billion
-Panama Canal: $15.2 billion
-Hoover Dam: $1…

The Cost of Biden’s Border Crisis

This week, DOGE unveiled a shocking report on the true cost of illegal immigration. According to data collected by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), American taxpayers shelled out $150.7 billion in 2023 alone to handle the immigration crisis.

Yes, you read that right—150 billion. To put that into perspective, DOGE compared it to some of the most significant expenditures in American history, adjusted for inflation:

• World War I: $334 billion
• Apollo Space Program: $257 billion
• Manhattan Project: $30 billion
• Panama Canal: $15.2 billion
• Hoover Dam: $1 billion

Illegal immigration costs almost as much as the Apollo Space Program—and we’re not even going to the Moon. Elon Musk, never one to mince words, summed it up perfectly: “The scale of spending on illegal immigration boggles the mind!”

The Real Price Tag of Biden’s Policies

FAIR calculated these staggering figures by tallying federal, state, and local expenses while subtracting the tax contributions from illegal immigrants. Even after accounting for taxes, the cost is $1,156 per taxpayer per year. That’s money coming out of your pocket, thanks to Biden’s open-border policies.

Take New York City, for instance. The city has spent $6.4 billion supporting 200,000 migrants since the crisis began. Denver? A cool $356 million since December 2022. And that’s just two cities. It’s no wonder Americans are demanding change.

Critics of Trump’s border wall love to claim it’s “too expensive.” But as one user on X pointed out, “How much would it have cost to keep those illegals out?” Another replied, “How can we afford NOT to deport them?”

Government Waste Goes Beyond Borders

Illegal immigration isn’t the only thing on DOGE’s radar. Over the past few weeks, the agency has exposed countless examples of wasteful government spending. Here’s a taste:

1. Vacant Buildings: Thanks to Biden’s remote work policies, the federal government is bleeding money on empty offices. U.S. Senator Joni Ernst called these “billion-dollar boondoggles” and sent Musk and Ramaswamy a letter detailing how DOGE could slash $2 trillion in waste.
2. Telework Gone Wild: The Social Security Administration struck a deal allowing 42,000 employees to work remotely until 2029. While the AFGE union claims this will prevent attrition, taxpayers are left wondering why they’re footing the bill for ghost towns of federal buildings.

DOGE’s efforts are exposing a government so bloated that even the swamp creatures are asking for more room. And patriots couldn’t be happier. Finally, someone is holding the bureaucrats accountable.

The Future of DOGE

DOGE isn’t just about cutting costs; it’s about restoring trust in government. With Musk’s tech-savvy and Ramaswamy’s business acumen, this agency is poised to redefine what accountability looks like in Washington.

And let’s not forget Senator Joni Ernst, who will lead the Senate DOGE Caucus. Together, they’re forming a dream team that’s ready to clean house.

Musk and Ramaswamy aren’t just aiming for small cuts. They’re going for bold, systemic changes. Whether it’s fixing immigration, ending telework abuses, or stopping wasteful spending, DOGE has its eyes set on a leaner, more efficient government.

Key Takeaways

• Trump’s new agency, DOGE, is targeting wasteful spending and border mismanagement.
• The immigration crisis costs taxpayers $150 billion annually, nearly rivaling historic projects.
• With Musk and Ramaswamy at the helm, DOGE is ready to deliver bold, transformative results.
