Treasury Dept and DOGE jointly agree on parameters for future audits
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!
- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE
It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!
Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.
When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!
This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.
Nobody in Treasury management cared enough before. I do want to credit the working level people in Treasury who have wanted to do this for many years, but have been stopped by prior management.
Everything at Treasury was geared towards complain minimization. People who receive money don’t complain, but people who don’t receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue.

RE: Treasury Dept and DOGE jointly agree on parameters for future audits
Any Dem put off with the agreement either suffers from TDS (ie., would disagree with a proven cancer cure if it came from Trump) or fosters waste, fraud, and abuse. There is no middle ground on this one....

If I were a a Republican congressman I'd introduce legislation to codify that audit agreement.
'Make it so straightforward and matter of fact so that the average person would be like,"How could anyone vote against that?"
Get democrats to vote up or down on the record to stop fraud or to support fraud.

This the end of Musk's X post in the thread directly above:

I think the average US adult understands there is "some" fraud and abuse within the US Federal Govt. But the EXTREME level of abuse at the Federal level is literally OFF THE CHARTS.
It will be absolutely fascinating to see how much graft/kickback $$$ were diverted to elected representatives. Regardless of party and length of time in Wash DC, lay the wood to their @ss. Zero slack.

RE: Treasury Dept and DOGE jointly agree on parameters for future audits
How in the hell does a state AG file an injunction to keep the federal treasury department from auditing itself?
It's time to use the weight of the federal government to absolutely crush New York State elected officials and their judicial cheerleaders. No quarter.

This is just pressure from certain groups that 'somebody' do something. So rogue judges and lawyers are doing 'something' but eventually this will collapse and DODGE and Trump admin will continue. This is only week 3 of 208 weeks
