And the leftists think Trump is mean.
DOGE finds Veterans Affairs paying $350K per month for website modifications
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under the leadership of Elon Musk, revealed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) had been spending an astounding $350,000--$380,000 per month on minor website updates before canceling the bloated contract.
Key Details:
The VA paid a contractor nearly $380,000/month for minor website modifications.
DOGE confirmed the contract was not renewed; the work is now done by one internal staffer in 10 hours/week.
The revelation follows DOGE's termination of 113 federal contracts worth $4.7 billion in total.
Diving Deeper:
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the agency created by executive order on President Donald Trump's first day in office, has uncovered yet another striking example of wasteful federal spending. This time, the target is the Department of Veterans Affairs, which until recently had been paying nearly $380,000 a month for relatively simple website modifications--work that a single staffer now handles internally with just 10 hours of effort each week.
DOGE broke the story via a post on X, formerly Twitter, praising the VA for not renewing the contract. "VA was previously paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications," the agency wrote. "That contract has not been renewed, and the same work is now being executed by 1 internal VA software engineer spending ~10 hours/week."
