The Department of Government Efficiency has been having a busy week. According to a Trump spokesperson, DOGE has set up a website that provides transparency with regard to their findings. Elon Musk has been declaring that he’s interested in finding the truth in the way government departments handle money. He’s been finding inappropriate dispursements that aren’t labelled as to who they went to or even how much…a sign of fraud and abuse. And there are more monetary abuses than missing payment information which are being revealed much to the chagrin of those who were enjoying dipping into that money flow.

Because so much money misuse has been uncovered so quickly, I am cautiously optimistic. I hope that the DOGE is using it’s powers judiciously and appropriately. I am hoping that they are stopping people from stealing more money. I am hoping that those who have been stealing from the public’s coffers will be identified and prosecuted. Apparently many who may be guilty of such crimes have begun to panic. So far though, it appears that DOGE is mostly just trying to stop the outward flow of inappropriate payments to who knows who what and where and some other government departments will deal with prosecuting the people who have been stealing and dealing in these monies.

Whenever someone says that they are worried that DOGE is acting inappropriately, I just wonder if that person or group is guilty of taking some of that easy to get cash that has been bleeding the United States into poverty. Did that person have a cash connection? President Trump stated optimistically that some of the treasury accounting may have exagerrated the deficit and debt and therefore, the United States may be in better financial shape than any of us thought.

I heard at least one group attribute this statement to some other outcome than discovering cash resources previously unaccounted for. That someone would disparage found money made me doubt the impartiality of that opinion. Because a lot of people have been taking money inappropriately. Secret money, secret money connections, secret money destinations, bribes, influence. Balancing the books finally is something that makes me feel less helpless as I have long watched problems developing that are affecting us all and I feel a little happier about a potentially better tomorrow.

Go DOGE!
