Millions of taxpayer dollars are poised to be completely wasted, moving towards efforts to promote “social and behavioral” changes in Uganda and to develop “social responsibility” actions in Colombia, the Ministry of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced this week.
“The US taxpayer dollars were to be spent on all the items that were cancelled,” Doge announced, providing a list of several ways the US government has been poised to waste hard-earned taxpayer dollars. For example, $42 million was expected to go to Johns Hopkins to investigate and promote “social and behavioral changes” in Uganda. Another $25 million has been set to “promote biodiversity conservation and promote legitimate livelihoods” by developing “socially responsible” actions in Colombia.
Additionally, $40 million was set to “improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary immigrants,” and a whopping $520 million was allocated to consultants to do what they described as “to mobilize ESG investment in Africa and “mobilize private sector resources and expertise.”
That's not the end of taxpayer money set to waste overseas as Doge reveals that $69 million will be going to the Eurasian Foundation for “digital transformation efforts” in Europe.
For each Doge list, other discoveries include:
– $32mm for interns for programs such as “media that enables democracy, inclusion and accountability in Moldova” and “sustainable media outlets.”
– US Bar Association $7 million to promote “resilience” in the “Eurasian legal sector and civil society”
– “$45 million to address the needs, opportunities and challenges identified by activists and other civic actors engaged in non-violent collective action.”
– World Economic Forum 52mm dollars
According to Doge's official website, total savings ring So far, it's around $65 billion. Doge says the savings are a combination of what it describes as “fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellation, contract/lease renegotiation, asset sales, grant cancellation, labor reduction, program changes, and regulatory savings.”
The figures currently updated twice a week include the “agent efficiency” leaderboard, indicating which agents have most total savings. As of Wednesday, the Ministry of Education was number one, followed by the General Services Agency (GSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The number one agency with the lowest total savings is the State Department, followed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Transport (DOT).
