Rep. Byron Donalds is standing strong behind Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling its work vital to fixing America’s broken finances. During a fiery interview on Newsmax, Donalds praised DOGE’s bold plan to send $5,000 rebate checks to American households. He said this money would come from slashing wasteful spending in the federal government—something taxpayers have demanded for years.
The $5,000 checks would be funded by cutting bloated contracts and unnecessary programs across agencies like the IRS. Donalds slammed Democrats for whining about DOGE’s efforts to clean house. “The IRS loves digging through your taxes,” he said, “but they hate being audited themselves.” He argued that holding bureaucrats accountable is long overdue and will save billions.
DOGE’s push for efficiency aligns with President Trump’s mission to shrink the “deep state” that strangles freedom. Donalds highlighted how DOGE has already saved $55 billion by canceling shady contracts and firing redundant workers. He called this just the start of draining the swamp that squanders your tax dollars on woke projects and paper-pushing.
Democrats are panicking because DOGE’s success exposes their addiction to big government. They claim auditing agencies like the IRS or FAA will hurt “safety,” but conservatives know better. Donalds fired back: “We’re not picking favorites—everything gets examined.” He said trimming fat makes government stronger, not weaker, by focusing on real priorities like borders and national defense.
The left’s meltdown over DOGE proves they fear losing control. For decades, unaccountable bureaucrats wasted money on pet projects while ignoring real needs. Now, under Trump and Musk, someone is finally checking receipts. Donalds mocked Democrats for suddenly caring about “norms” after years of weaponizing agencies against conservatives.
Hardworking Americans are cheering DOGE’s no-nonsense approach. A recent poll shows 50% of voters distrust the IRS—and that number spikes among Republicans tired of being targeted. Families struggling with Biden’s inflation see hope in $5,000 rebates funded by ending fraud. Donalds said this proves Trump’s policies put people first, not politics.
Critics claim cutting bureaucracy risks safety, but conservatives know smart cuts strengthen America. Pandemic prep? Border security? Nuclear oversight? DOGE isn’t touching essentials—it’s axing useless reports and overpriced consultants. Donalds vowed: “We’ll keep water wet and skies safe… but taxpayers won’t fund garbage anymore.”
The choice is clear: Keep feeding a greedy swamp or demand results. With Trump back in charge and fighters like Donalds speaking out, DOGE is delivering what voters demanded—a government that works FOR us, not against us. Those $5,000 checks aren’t just money… they’re a message: The era of waste is over.
