DOGE Exposes Government Credit Card Scandal

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has just exposed a major credit card scandal by the ruling class. DOGE has deactivated 146,000 government credit cards, slashing spending limits from 10,000 to 1 in some cases.

DOGE’s leader, Elon Musk highlighted the scale of government credit card abuse, but critics warn of unintended disruptions to essential services like medical supplies. However, other transactions were completed at casinos and luxury retailers.

The Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently uncovered a staggering 8,000+ suspicious transactions on government credit cards between 2020 and 2024. These included purchases at bars, casinos, travel agencies, and even “mentalists”—one employee reportedly using taxpayer funds to ask if they’d avoid arrest. The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), called the findings emblematic of systemic fraud, citing a letter demanding immediate investigations and accountability. -Natural News

“This is not ‘waste’—it’s deliberate corruption,” Comer stated in the letter to Comptroller Gene Dodaro, citing transactions during “holidays and major sporting events” as implausible for legitimate military purposes. The report noted purchases at “high-risk merchants” such as pyramid schemes, luxury retailers, and even a record shop. None of these transactions, in the committee’s view, justifies federal expenditure.

According to a report by Natural News, the investigation was in response to revelations of waste, fraud, and abuse by DOGE a couple of months ago, when they deactivated 146,000 cards across 16 agencies, cutting limits from 10,000 to just 1 for many employees. Musk highlighted the scale of the problem in a March X post: “There are still twice as many credit cards as people in the government.” While some praise the initiative as long-overdue fiscal discipline, others warn of unintended consequences.

The ruling House Republicans have urged prosecutors to indict offenders, while Musk-backed reforms face bipartisan scrutiny.

But the right continues to defend DOGE’s efforts. “DOGE isn’t just saving money—it’s rebalancing priorities,” said Trump adviser Ron Klain, arguing the scandal reflects a broader culture of entitlement in bureaucracies.

Left-leaning authoritarians are still trying to block DOGE from getting to the bottom of scandals and wasted money schemes.
