“We need to lock in DOGE savings for the taxpayers, and we should also be thinking about locking in the DOGE process that has produced these savings,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., the head of the House Committee Oversight and Government Reform’s DOGE subcommittee, saying that the government is like an “overgrown, out-of-control animal.”
Billionaire Elon Musk stepped back from DOGE weeks ago, but the office’s associates remain dispersed across agencies. The administration is also seeking $45 million in funding for DOGE next year.
“To win this war, we need to make sure these cuts aren’t just temporary,” said Greene. “That means passing laws to streamline agencies, eliminate redundant programs and give the president the authority to fire bureaucrats who don’t do their jobs.”
“All of this talk about lowering costs and reducing waste is absolute BS. Their agenda is about one thing: making the federal government so weak that they can exploit it for their personal gain,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who tried to subpoena Musk during the hearing. Republicans blocked the request, as they have with previous attempts.
