In honor of Elon and Vivek being picked as the heads of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), here some of the dumbest uses of your tax dollars.
5. $20,000 to drag shows in Ecuador.
4. $30,000 to study the secret language of butchers in Paris.
3. $750,000 for the New York Metropolitan Opera fire alarm.
2. $350,000 to develop AI smart toilets.
1. $660,000 to study the impact that COVID had on Russian women.
Here are some of the most insane statistics about the waste and inefficiency of the US government and why Elon and Vivek's new DOGE is such an incredible and crucial development for America:
• The CBO revealed at least 1,264 federal programs and bureaus have expired authorizations, but they still received $516B in funding for FY2024
• The Government Accountability Office estimates the federal government wastes $247B in taxpayer money each year
• The Department of the Treasury reported $24.5B in "unreconciled transactions" in the past meaning it spent ~$25B on unknown items
• Department of Agriculture employees misused government issued credit cards spending millions on personal purchases like concert tickets, tattoos, lingerie and car payments
• $33.2M was spent on transgender monkey research
• The NIH spent part of a $2.7M grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill
• The DoD ruined $170M of military equipment by leaving it outside
• The US Agency for International Development spent $6M to promote tourism in Egypt
• The SBA gave over $200M to music artists like Post Malone, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne through the Covid Paycheck Protection Program
• The US military bought soap dispensers for aircraft at over 80 times the commercial price
The importance of the Department of Government Efficiency cannot be overstated

«No point in studying butterflies in Europe because nothing outside america's borders could possibly affect them. Truth is flying insects are rapidly disappearing in Europe. Butterflies are an indicator species, what happens to them is happening to the biosphere in general and they are relatively easy to study. But don't worry, once Elon gets us to Mars there'll be no use for bugs.»

Plus (and both side do it), it's called VOTE BUYING.»
