DOGE’s expenses have now ballooned to around $175 million in just 12 weeks. Where is that money coming from? Simple: they’re billing other federal agencies for their so-called “services.” This kind of shadow invoicing needs serious oversight. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly where their money is going and who’s profiting from it.
Now let’s dig into the details:
- DOGE has received funds transferred from other federal agencies under the Economy Act, which permits such transfers for interagency support. This mechanism has allowed DOGE to operate as if it were a federal agency—despite lacking explicit congressional authorization.
- Between January and February 2025, the Trump administration apportioned over $39 million to DOGE. However, the specific origins of these funds remain unclear, raising serious concerns about transparency and oversight.
- DOGE has redirected funds from key federal programs and agencies, including the Department of Labor and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to support its operations. These reallocations have come at a cost—resulting in deep staff reductions and budget cuts at the affected agencies.
