Deep dives

The Role of DOGE and Government Spending

The newly established Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has sparked significant attention, particularly due to its controversial initiatives led by Elon Musk as director. Recently, President Trump highlighted DOGE during a congressional address, pointing out its achievements amidst concerns from the public regarding the transparency and efficiency of government spending. Many citizens suspect that substantial amounts of taxpayer money are squandered on various frivolous programs that may oppose American values. This has become more critical in light of recent reports about funding cuts to Uganda’s USAID, which many have linked to broader implications of how American aid is used internationally.
