This is why it is all hands on deck to stop Elon Musk’s DOGE team.
On Monday, Elon Musk’s DOGE revealed the federal government didn’t trace $4.7 trillion in payments.
$4.7 trillion dollars in payments were left blank, making it nearly impossible to trace, DOGE said.
“The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process),” DOGE explained in a post on X.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to US Treasury for the great work,” DOGE said.

Trillions of dollars in taxpayer money went into a federal government black hole!
The government will audit you, track every single dollar that went into your bank account, and hunt you down to squeeze every last penny.
But once they get hold of YOUR money – they chuck it into a black hole of their choice with little to no accountability.

Musk’s DOGE has exposed trillions in waste in just the first few weeks of Trump’s second term.
Last Wednesday Real America’s Voice White House reporter Brian Glenn asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the trillions in fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare payments that have been going overseas.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held her DOGE subcommittee hearing earlier in the day and announced the group’s findings. The subcommittee has found $2.7 trillion in improper and fraudulent government payments since forming their subcommittee.
This number came from a report late last year on government waste.
According to NewsNation the federal government spent $2.7 trillion in payment errors since 2003.
That number was discovered last year before DOGE launched an in-depth investigation into government waste.
$2.7 TRILLION of YOUR money.
Down the drain.
Tomorrow, the @DOGECommittee will EXPOSE the waste, fraud, and abuse of improper payments doled out by the federal government.

President Trump and Elon Musk previously announced DOGE will cut $1 trillion from the deficit this year.
