A top Republican on the House DOGE caucus has revealed to DailyMail.com some jaw-dropping government projects that will be cut by Donald Trump‘s new initiative.
The president-elect tasked Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy with cutting trillions in federal spending in the coming years using the newly developed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
And the pair have already been hard at work injecting their influence in to politics.
Just before Christmas Musk used the bully pulpit of his app, X, to wage war against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson to destroy a massive, 1,547-page government funding bill. The bill was later revised to 116 pages. Then it was revised again.
The same mentality has invigorated a large portion of Congress, with members in the House and Senate propping up their own respective panels to aid DOGE in eliminating government bloat.
House DOGE Caucus Co-Chair Aaron Bean, R-Fla., exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com some of the most egregious government waste projects federal workers are approving, many at massive costs to taxpayers.
‘We’re giving cocaine to animals to see does it turn them transsexual?’ the Republican lamented to DailyMail.com over the phone. He suggested similar government-funded studies need to be halted by DOGE.
‘It just, it’s the craziest thing that you would never spend your own money on. But when agencies have money to burn, they will spend money on literally everything.’
