Missouri DOGE portal receives over 9,000 pages of feedback
- Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is leading efforts to modernize systems and cut federal waste, while Missouri created its own Department of Government Efficiency to improve state operations.
- Musk asserts that DOGE's program is intended to conduct an audit of government waste, reduce inflation, increase economic output, and improve the standard of living by shifting resources to the private sector, although some consider this claim to be false.
- DOGE has canceled thousands of government contracts, including 10,000 specifically for humanitarian aid, and is working to address issues such as millions of fraudulent Social Security accounts registered to people over 120 years old, as well as $500 billion in annual fraud and improper payments.
- Auditors claim DOGE's actions don't resemble an actual audit and may cost taxpayers more money, with potential revenue losses exceeding $500 billion and the full cost of worker reductions currently uncalculated, while the New York Times reported that DOGE quietly removed over 1,000 contract cancellation claims, reducing taxpayer savings by $4 billion.
- Missouri's Department of Government Efficiency received over 9,000 pages of responses through its Missouri Accountability Portal in its first 48 days, addressing issues like chronic wasting disease and frustrations with lawmakers, and is sponsoring bills to improve efficiency by selling unused properties, transferring dormant funds, and dissolving inactive boards.
