President Donald Trump’s inspection of all of American government to root out wasteful spending, fraud and even criminal behavior has resulted in confirmation from the Department of Energy that its officials have eliminated $124 million in “wasteful” spending. That was what was being spent on “ridiculously expensive” subscriptions and more. A report from Fox News explained that department spokesman Ben Dietderich told the network in an interview that the total of $124 million included, “millions of dollars of DEI contracts to ridiculously expensive multi-million-dollar Politico news subscriptions” and other nonessential line items. He pointed out, “We are just getting started.” Some identified expenditures already have been obligated, so there will be an “immediate” savings of about $65 million. But there will be “more to come in the coming months and years,” he said. “President Trump and Secretary [Chris] Wright are fully committed to making government more accountable, efficient, and restoring proper stewardship of the American taxpayer’s dollars.” He said the cuts so far come from “needless expenditures.” He charged that the corrections are coming after Joe Biden’s failed leadership. “The previous administration was not a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars: In just four years, the Biden administration expanded the Department of Energy’s federal workforce by more than 20% – adding more than 3,000 federal employee positions,” he said. “In the last year alone, the Biden administration increased the size of the Energy Department federal workforce with 1,000 new employees. Delivering on President Trump’s mandate supported by more than 77 million Americans, the Energy Department began last week dismissing a portion of recently hired federal employees classified in the federal government as ‘probationary employees.'” Wright also said, according to the report, that the Biden administration’s Green New Deal is in the process of being “killed off” as Trump’s plan is to lower energy and oil costs for Americans.
