Marjorie Taylor Greene lays out DOGE plan to investigate government spending
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is taking a strong stance on government spending by spearheading a new congressional subcommittee dedicated to cutting waste. In a recent interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Greene outlined her plans for the subcommittee, which will work alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
One of Greene’s top priorities is investigating sanctuary states and cities that receive federal funding while harboring illegal criminal aliens. She believes that leaders of these jurisdictions should have to justify why they deserve federal dollars if they are not cooperating with federal immigration laws.
Greene highlighted a tragic case involving the murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student who was killed by an illegal immigrant in a sanctuary city. This incident underscores the importance of addressing immigration policies that put American citizens at risk.
In addition to immigration issues, Greene plans to scrutinize various government programs, contracts, and employees to identify areas where spending can be cut. She specifically called out government-funded media programs like NPR, which she believes promote biased Democrat propaganda.
The congresswoman also raised concerns about government buildings that remain empty despite costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually. She questioned the logic of maintaining these unused facilities while government employees work remotely, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, Greene emphasized the need for efficiency and accountability in government spending. She stressed the importance of prioritizing taxpayer dollars and ensuring that funds are allocated wisely to serve the American people’s interests.
As Greene and the DOGE subcommittee delve into their investigative work, they are committed to uncovering facts and making data-driven decisions to maximize the impact of federal spending. Their goal is to eliminate waste and inefficiency in government operations, ultimately delivering better value for American taxpayers.
Through this initiative, Greene aims to hold government leaders accountable and promote responsible stewardship of public funds. By challenging the status quo and pushing for greater transparency, she hopes to usher in a new era of fiscal responsibility in Washington.
