“You get a credit card!
And you get a credit card!”
It seems those in the government we’re acting like Oprah and just giving out credit cards to everyone.
Another case for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Critics are upset. They want DOGE to stop snooping around in their fraud.
But President Trump isn’t backing down, he just dropped a memo demanding “radical transparency” in government spending.
I imagine the Deep State’s panic grows by the day, grows with each exposure.
If they ever wondered what it would feel like to be on a runaway train that’s increasing in speed, aiming for a solid brick wall, well, they don’t need to wonder anymore.

Fox News reports:
DOGE’s activities have come under increasing scrutiny over the last few weeks, with opponents arguing that President Donald Trump has given billionaire Elon Musk, who was tapped to head the department, too much power to shrink the size of the federal government.
The new department has also been at the center of numerous lawsuits, with opponents attempting to block Musk and the Trump administration from carrying out many of DOGE’s recommendations for cuts.
However, Trump has not wavered in his support from the efforts, publicly supporting DOGE’s work while also releasing a memo on Tuesday ordering government agencies to be “radically transparent” with the American people about its spending.
The memo argues that the federal government “spends too much money on programs, contracts, and grants that do not promote the interests of the American people.”
“For too long, taxpayers have subsidized ideological projects overseas and domestic organizations engaged in actions that undermine the national interest,” the note continues. “The American people have seen their tax dollars used to fund the passion projects of unelected bureaucrats rather than to advance the national interest.”
“The American people have a right to see how the Federal Government has wasted their hard-earned wages.”
How are there 4.6 million credit cards for just around 3 million federal employees? pic.twitter.com/cbmu6YMX7n

Someone in the comments gave some interesting commentary:
For those not familiar how this works, here’s a small breakdown:
The government buyer “needs” a $150 office chair.
He uses his government CC for incidental purchase to buy it from a vendor that sells it to him for $1,500
Everyone is happy because the private sector just helped the public sector expend their annual budget before fiscal year end thereby guaranteeing their annual allocation does not shrink but grows.
The private sector vendor now sends his government buyer a $750 dollar “gift” in gratitude for electing his company to provide the government a chair and then proceeds to deposit his $675 profit from a chair that represents a $75 cost to him. Very illegal of course and done on the back of the taxpayer.
But since nobody is looking…
Well, someone is looking now.
Their game is up.
Also, this person meant to write “$40B” not million.
DOGE finds another $40M in fraud while looking into government credit cards of which there are 3 million government employees but around 4.6 credit cards accounts. pic.twitter.com/6cv2HIQ17E
