MTG on DOGE: 'The American people's money has truly been stolen' | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: During a meeting discussing improper payments, it was revealed that significant fraud has led to the theft of American taxpayers’ money. Social Security numbers of deceased individuals, including those over 115 years old, have been exploited by criminals to obtain federal funds unlawfully. Elon Musk and the Doge committee are collaborating on this issue, emphasizing the need for bipartisan action to address these financial abuses. Proposed “Doge Cuts” aim to formalize solutions through legislative measures. The ongoing challenges highlight outdated systems within federal agencies and the importance of reform to prevent further losses to fraud.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (Dist. 14) explained what was discussed during Wednesday night’s DOGE meeting with Republican lawmakers. She said DOGE has found that the American people are being robbed by criminals.
