    • DOGE Government Efficiency Agency Struggles to Cut Spending Despite Musk Backing and Trump Administration Efforts

      DOGE Government Efficiency Agency Struggles to Cut Spending Despite Musk Backing and Trump Administration Efforts
      Jan 17 2026
      Listeners, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, launched by Elon Musk under President Trump's second term, promised to slash federal waste like a meme coin moonshot. But beyond the hype, is DOGE thinking actually delivering real results as we hit 2026?

      Early on, DOGE aggressively cut contracts, shuttered agencies, and fired thousands of federal workers, claiming $215 billion in waste eliminated, with Republicans making $115 billion official through legislation, according to the DOGE website and Fox News reports. Yet, government spending rose last year, drawing fire from Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who vows in fiscal year 2026 budget talks to restore DOGE-slashed funds for programs like housing and even boost them higher, as stated at a Center for American Progress forum.

      Congressional appropriators have dialed back DOGE's ambitions too. The White House requested $45 million for DOGE in its June 2025 budget, but the bipartisan Financial Services bill slashed the Information Technology Oversight and Reform account—now funding the U.S. DOGE Service—to just $8 million, less than half the $19.6 million asked, per FedScoop and Nextgov/FCW. No explicit reauthorization for key modernization funds either, signaling waning support amid shutdown threats.

      DOGE's crypto ties add intrigue. Trump's pro-crypto push, including a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and David Sacks as Crypto Czar, boosted sentiment—52% of Americans expect crypto values to rise under his watch, per Security.org's 2026 report. Dogecoin spiked to 31% ownership in 2025 amid Musk and inauguration buzz, though it dipped slightly this year, with 17% of owners planning more buys. But broader adoption stalls at 30%, hampered by volatility and security fears.

      Locally, Montgomery County, Maryland, launched its own DOGE office, saving $14 million last year without mass layoffs, eyeing AI for red-tape cuts in 2026, as Governing.com details. Federal DOGE? Critics say it decimated without denting spending; fans insist cuts continue quietly, per Rep. Aaron Bean.

      DOGE thinking endures in pockets, proving efficiency memes can inspire, but scaling them demands more than bold swings.

    • DOGE Government Efficiency Under Scrutiny: Trump and Musk Initiative Struggles with Funding and Impact in 2025-2026

      DOGE Government Efficiency Under Scrutiny: Trump and Musk Initiative Struggles with Funding and Impact in 2025-2026
      Jan 13 2026
      Gov Efficiency Beyond Meme: Is DOGE Thinking Work? Listeners, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, launched by President Trump in early 2025 with Elon Musk's backing, promised to slash federal waste through bold cuts to workforce, contracts, and agencies. According to FedScoop reports from this month's budget negotiations, Congress has allocated just $8 million to the U.S. DOGE Service under the Information Technology Oversight and Reform account—far less than the Trump administration's $45 million request—signaling skepticism despite directives for AI-ready datasets and multi-cloud upgrades to compete with China.

      Nextgov details how DOGE, repurposed from the U.S. Digital Service, drove mass firings and agency closures last year, yet government spending rose anyway. Now, the group is hiring again after many operatives departed following Musk's exit in May 2025, amid sparse details on its current impact. Security.org's 2026 Cryptocurrency Adoption Report notes DOGE's cultural echo in crypto, where Dogecoin ownership spiked to 31 percent in 2025 amid Trump inauguration hype and Musk tweets, before dipping slightly, with 17 percent of owners planning more buys.

      BitcoinWorld's latest analysis projects Dogecoin at $0.12 to $0.25 by year-end 2026 under moderate scenarios, fueled by adoption trends, though $1 by 2030 remains optimistic amid regulatory shifts and competition. AInvest highlights Dogecoin's evolution via Japan partnerships and institutional interest, mirroring DOGE's push for efficiency.

      Is DOGE delivering? Early chaos yielded mixed results—IT modernization advances, but funding cuts and hiring U-turns question its staying power. As Trump's pro-crypto policies, including the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, boost sentiment (52 percent of Americans expect crypto gains per Security.org), DOGE embodies meme-to-mainstream ambition, proving efficiency demands more than viral flair.

    • DOGE Subcommittee Revolutionizes Government Efficiency Under Trump Administration with Tim Burchett at Helm

      DOGE Subcommittee Revolutionizes Government Efficiency Under Trump Administration with Tim Burchett at Helm
      Jan 10 2026
      Government efficiency used to sound like the driest topic in Washington. Then along came DOGE.

      In 2025, President Donald Trump’s second administration created the Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, DOGE for short, as part of a broader push to slash federal waste, fraud, and red tape. News4SanAntonio reports that the subcommittee was originally tied to a larger Trump initiative branded as DOGE, with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy once floated as prominent efficiency crusaders before political rifts reshaped the lineup.

      Today, Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett has taken over as chairman of the DOGE subcommittee after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation from Congress. According to News4SanAntonio, Burchett says Americans are “fed up with wasteful spending and fraud” and vows to cut reckless spending, attack bureaucratic red tape, and investigate abuse across federal programs. He has framed DOGE as a key partner to President Trump and House Oversight chair James Comer in what he calls restoring trust in government.

      What makes DOGE interesting is not just the acronym’s wink to Dogecoin, but the way it borrows meme-culture energy to sell a serious mission. A 2025 analysis on YouTube titled “DOGE’s ‘Dynamite’ Disruption of Federal Contracting in 2025” describes how DOGE-style reviews forced agencies to rebid stale contracts, shorten procurement timelines, and link funding more tightly to measurable outcomes. In that telling, DOGE thinking means treating every dollar like a startup treats runway: scarce, trackable, and accountable.

      At the same time, Bloomberg opinion columnists have warned that the speculative frenzy around actual Dogecoin highlights the risk of importing meme-style hype into real financial and policy decisions. They argue that leveraged bets on assets like DOGE have no place in the core banking system, a useful cautionary tale for any government effort trying to ride internet culture without getting captured by it.

      So the real question for listeners is whether DOGE can move beyond the meme and deliver tangible gains: faster services, fewer boondoggles, and a federal bureaucracy that measures success in outcomes, not press releases. If Burchett and his colleagues can turn that promise into clear numbers—dollars saved, days shaved off approvals, fraud shut down—DOGE thinking could become less of a joke and more of a new operating system for government.
