According to WSJ, the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found in its investigation that the U.S. government generated $149 billion in improper payments last year alone. That's enough to fund NASA for seven years or build 15 aircraft carriers.
Medicare and Medicaid led with more than $60 billion in misused funds, followed by tax credits (more than $20 billion) and food aid (more than $10 billion). Of the $33.50 billion identified as likely to be recovered in 2024, agencies managed to recover only $22.60 billion.
