BACKGROUND:
The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has worked in tandem with agencies across the Executive Branch to identify waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement that has led to unnecessary spending of taxpayer dollars. The Administration has cancelled unneeded or inappropriate grants, contracts and leases and is downsizing bloated bureaucracies. To lock in budgetary savings from these actions, however, Congress should rescind appropriations DOGE has shown to be unnecessary, and it should reduce spending levels going forward, consistent with a more streamlined federal government. Congress should also codify appropriate fiscal accountability and transparency measures DOGE is using, in order to make these processes standard operating procedure for the federal government going forward.

HEARING PURPOSE:
This hearing will examine the nature and extent of waste, fraud, abuse and unnecessary spending DOGE has identified, and assess how it can be converted into permanent savings for taxpayers. It will also assess the fiscal tracking and transparency strategies that DOGE has employed, to determine which should be continued and codified.
