In a bombshell revelation, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has exposed a shocking level of federal spending abuse, revealing that the U.S. government has over 4.6 million active credit cards in circulation, processing a staggering 90 million transactions worth nearly $40 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 alone.
DOGE, the new federal watchdog agency established under President Donald Trump, posted its findings on X on Tuesday, accompanied by a breakdown of federal agency expenditures.
“The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend in FY24. DOGE is working w/ the agencies to simplify the program and reduce admin costs – we will report back in 1 week,” the account wrote.
Leading the charge in spending? None other than the Department of Defense (DOD), which boasts roughly 2.4 million individual accounts and a jaw-dropping 27.2 million transactions in just one fiscal year.
