They discuss how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could tackle waste, fraud, and abuse in America’s biggest programs — without cutting benefits. Rachel shares eye-opening examples of billions in improper payments, the fight for transparency, and how citizens can use OpenTheBooks.com to track government spending from small towns to federal agencies. If you’ve ever wondered where your tax dollars really go, this conversation will open your eyes.
