The Department of Government Efficiency just cut 108 wasteful contracts, saving taxpayers $70 million. Among the casualties: $14K for “transformational leadership training”. That sounds important. Why don’t they just get a few Tony Robbins CDs and pass those around instead? That’ll save them money. $5.2M to help the feds optimize stuff. DOGE also recently gutted $51M from African aid programs, with some of those funds going to pineapple juice marketing. Yes, marketing for pineapple juice. If only the waste could keep going, then Democrats would be happy, because then they could protest the government’s waste. At least, they used to be against it. They’re a hard group to please. DOGE ends 108 ‘wasteful’ contracts, including for an ‘executive transformational leadership training program’https://t.co/vjcWWnS7cn — Robert Lavelle (@RobertLavelle5) April 10, 2025 Fox News reports: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to slash programs deemed to be useless, announcing Wednesday the elimination of 108 “wasteful contracts.” In a post on X, the Elon Musk-led group said it got rid of the contracts, which have a ceiling value of $250 million and a savings of $70 million. The problem contracts included a $14,000 commitment by the Department of Health and Human Services for an “executive transformational leadership training program.” Another was a $5.2 million contract with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the human resources agency for the federal government, to “provide strategic advisory and assistance to improve and transform current processes and organizational systems”. DOGE recently announced $51 million in cuts from the U.S. African Development Foundation, which included hundreds of thousands of dollars for marketing shea butter and pineapple juice, as well as mango drying facilities. So much waste. But Elon and DOGE are the problem? A listing of abuse and waste numbers that DOGE is uncovering— the question being asked “Why isn’t mainstream media putting this out there?” pic.twitter.com/tppGAEW91t — April Color (@ColorApril) February 8, 2025 Even Bernie Sanders used to be ‘pro-DOGE’ in a sense, back in 2008. That was a good year. What an incredible ad for DOGE. Thank’s Bernie! 2008. Bernie Sanders acknowledges there is an incredible amount of waste and fraud in the government and then claims it’s the responsibility of the President’s administration to do something about it. pic.twitter.com/e4C1MJpdTx — MAZE (@mazemoore) March 11, 2025
