Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency is already finding massive waste in government, particularly when it comes to DEI.
Vivek Ramaswamy posted about the DEI bloat that exists in the Department of Health and Human Services: Tens of millions of dollars is being spent to pay the salaries of hundreds of DEI employees.
The report he cites found tens of millions being spent on DEI bureaucrats:
Separately, they found more bureaucrats being paid millions in positions related to "minority health equity."
Here's just a small sampling of other spending:
$608 million for agency-wide General Departmental Management, which lists its top three priorities as "racial equity, environmental justice, climate change."
$5 million for the agency-wide "Office of Climate Change and Health Equity" and "Office of Environmental Justice"
$98.6 million for the Medicaid Integrity Program, which helps fund an "Equity Dashboard."
$5 million for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to "diversify the doula workforce" and $24.3 million for "Nursing Workforce Diversity."
$102 million this year for "Training for Diversity."
$534.4 million for The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities that funds programs such as "Brother, You're on My Mind: Changing the National Dialogue Regarding Mental Health Among African American Men," and the "Envisioning Health Equity Art Challenge."
So much useless and even counterproductive waste!
DOGE has a huge (but probably very fun) job ahead of them.
