NOW - DOGE Staffer Speaks Out, Unveiling Mission to Fix IRS’ Outdated Infrastructure | “I really care a lot about this country, and this is a huge program that is currently 30 years behind schedule.” For the first time, a member of the DOGE team has spoken publicly about the mission that they're on. Sam Corcos, now a special adviser to the U.S. Treasury Department, is laying out his undertaking to drag the IRS’ outdated systems into the present. Corcos said: “I have been brought in to look at the IRS’ modernization program, in particular, as well as the operations and maintenance budget. I really care a lot about this country, and this is a huge program that is currently 30 years behind schedule and it’s already $15 billion over budget.” “The goal is to take——the IRS has some pretty legacy infrastructure——It’s actually very similar to what banks have been using. It’s old main frames running COBOL and assembly.” “The challenge has been, how do we migrate that to a modern system. Virtually every bank has already done this, but we’re still using a lot of those same systems.” “Typically, in the industry this takes a few years, maybe a few hundred million dollars, and we’re now 35 years into this program.”

The IRS is a cesspool of waste, and this DOGE staffer’s exposé should have Trump supporters ready to storm the barricades! Sam Corcos rips the mask off: 8,000 IT staff—40 times more than a midsize bank—gobbling $3.5 billion yearly, with 80% funneled to contractors. A $3.7 billion modernization black hole, ghost contracts bleeding millions—$50 million here, $30 million there—with zero accountability. This isn’t incompetence; it’s a deliberate grift. The numbers scream corruption: the IRS’s budget dwarfs private sector norms by 175 times, yet they’re 30 years behind schedule. They can’t even collect taxes without paying a toll to their contractor cronies—leeches sucking the lifeblood of hardworking Americans. Trump’s DOGE warriors are gutting this beast, exposing a system that’s screwed over taxpayers while 50% of filers get audited for simple errors due to outdated tech. Outrageous. This is why we back Trump: he’s unleashing pitbulls like DOGE to dismantle the swamp’s piggy bank. The left wants you broke and obedient; Trump wants you free and thriving. Fire up, patriots—our tax dollars deserve better than this bureaucratic mafia! Follow @FinalTelegraph for the unredacted truth. As Thomas Jefferson said, The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sam Corcos of DOGE sits down with Laura Ingraham. "It’s hard to really grasp the scale of this. Because we process at the IRS about the same amount of data as a mid-size bank. And a typical mid-size bank will have somewhere between 1 and 200 people in IT and they have an operations and maintenance budget in like the $20 million a year range. We have 8,000 people in IT and our operations and maintenance budget is $3.5 billion a year. I don’t really know why yet. But I will tell you that 80% of that budget goes to contractors and licenses." The Democrats keep trying to say that President Trump is creating an oligarchy. Maybe the reason why the Democrats are losing their minds is because President Trump and DOGE are dismantling the largest oligarchy in human history. The Federal Government.

BREAKING: I just signed a bipartisan transportation budget for our state that invests $1.5 billion in preservation and maintenance for our roads and bridges, without raising taxes. We have 80 bridges that are more than 80 years old and in poor condition. We rank first in the country for potholes. That's why I went all in on preservation and maintenance in my proposed budget. I'm grateful to the Legislature for delivering.

There is a pattern across all agencies where IT “modernization” contracts do not pay for outcomes/performance; instead, they pay for time. Therefore, the incentive is for contractors to “never finish,” resulting in incredible waste. As an example, IRS modernization started in 1990 to be delivered in 1996. Today, the work is not complete and the contractors say it’s still 5 years away. 29 years behind schedule and ~$15b over budget. Everyone loses, except the government contractors. This must change. This week, the IRS froze ~$1.5B in modernization contracts, none of which have any effect on tax filings. All of those contracts will then either be cancelled or the contract terms will be changed to pay-for-performance.

The city of Oakland, California only has a population of 440,000 but passed a $4 billion dollar budget for themselves over 2 years For reference Phoenix, Arizona has 1.65 million people and their budget is $2.3 billion But don’t worry they say they need the money for things like “more traffic cameras” and more homeless spending I also found roughly 55% of Oaklands massive budget goes to salaries and Admin spending…. I think we found the problem

I wanted to share an update on San Francisco’s budget and how we are working to get our fiscal house in order. When I took office, we inherited a significant structural deficit. That means the city was set up to spend more money than it brings in, year after year. Today, that gap is projected to reach $1 billion dollars over the next five years. Over the past year, we’ve taken steps to close this gap and bring long-term spending more in line with revenue. We also know that increasing sustainable revenue for our city is crucial to solving our budget problem. Since the day I became mayor, we’ve been taking steps to create the conditions for San Francisco’s economic recovery. Today, our streets are safer and cleaner, and people struggling on the streets are getting into treatment. We’re making it easier to open and operate a small business in our city. And that progress has led to results: Businesses of all sizes are coming back to San Francisco, people are shopping downtown again, and tax revenues are higher than projected. While we are making meaningful progress, we are not out of the woods. Our economic recovery is very fragile. And since last year’s budget, the city has faced new federal and state funding cuts. This means our budget gap would reach $1 billion in the coming years if we don’t act. The charter requires that, as mayor, I submit a balanced budget each June—we cannot spend more money than we bring in. And we must also address this long-term $1 billion dollar deficit. Because if we don’t act now, we will have to do twice as much in the coming years, with the choices becoming more expensive and more difficult. This year’s budget will include painful but necessary decisions. I know they will impact individuals and communities, and I take this seriously—which is why we must act now to avoid even deeper cuts later. This year's budget will continue the work we’ve been doing since last year to manage city funds responsibly and deliver the best possible services. And it will put our city on a path to a lasting economic recovery that benefits all San Franciscans.

"We can't lose sight of Minnesota, and it's worse in some places like California, $19B dollars in fraud!" "And we're going to find out, we're very deep into that investigation, but we're not going to forget that." "A lot of people think that a lot of this nonsense that's going on is to try and hide what's going on with respect to the fraud!" "Don't let this hide the fact that you have tremendous fraud.

James Moore "$53 billion per year is what we're paying to service the debt. In the budget that was just tabled today it's now over $70 billion." "Again, to put that number in perspective, if as a revenue stream you would have to have a 15% GST in this country to draw in the revenue necessary just to pay for the cost of servicing our debt." "And then there's this admission, like in the budget document itself, it says this quote, if Canada's productivity growth had matched the United States from 2017 to 2023, the median income of a family of one child would be nearly 11, $11,000 higher." "Like just explicitly in the budget saying that the last 10 years have failed." "And that's text from a budget being delivered by Francois Philippe Champagne, who is a key minister in that government." James Moore The Vassy Kapelos Show

🚨 I highly recommend Brits watch this, to truly understand the magnitude of what DOGE is uncovering. Antonio Gracias - who works in DOGE with Elon breaks it down. Sources in the Treasury and local government tell me it’s no different here. "The way the Government works a Department just asks for money from Treasury and they send it out. We all run businesses, there's a reconciliation process -- there's no reconciliation in the US Government -- that process is broken. Literally money is just flowing out. I used to ask myself why the Government numbers were always wrong. You just hit the button in the computer and figure it out. The problem is that that button doesn't exist. Nobody knows where the money is flowing. The Government has an Authorized Executive stamp a bill and then that bill just gets paid. The Department gets a budget authorized to it by Congress --> it goes to OMB --> OMB allocates a budget --> that Department then just sends a money request to Treasury to pay. It's not reconciled against what happened. There's no Controller. The reason it cant pass audits is because you can't pass something you can't reconcile."

We asked Balaji about the thesis behind Network School. "A 4-year college education front-loads all the costs to the beginning and leaves zero budgeted for maintenance over somebody's life." "People get this expensive education and then forget all of it just a few years later." "What you really want is continuous education over the course of your life." "For example, when Google's Veo 3 comes out, you can quickly load that into your brain and be productive." "You want to have a budget (to learn things like that) every year."

Today, City Hall announced that we are facing a growing and unprecedented budget deficit. San Franciscans voted for accountability and change from the unsustainable status quo at City Hall. The budget deficit is a crisis that we must face head-on, and it will require us to make difficult decisions. We can’t simply cut our way out of this nor can we balance the budget on the backs of working people. We need to stop spending more than we can afford while prioritizing investments that are critical to a full economic recovery and the maintenance of essential services. Beyond living within our means, fostering a diverse and growing economy is critical to eliminating chronic budget deficits. This moment requires all of us to work together to advance the best interests of San Franciscans.

🚨 WOW! Gov. Ron DeSantis just said after his upcoming vetoes, Florida will have REDUCED state spending for 4 years in a row... ...and nearly HALF of ALL state debt has been paid off since 2019 🔥 "Our budget, even though we have MILLIONS of more people than New York State, New York's budget is more than TWICE the size of Florida's budget, and people can ask, where's all that money going?" "And in fact, I'm going to be dealing with our current, our next fiscal year budget. And once I do my vetoes, I will be able to say that we have actually at the state level in Florida reduced spending four years in a row." "Now that's foreign to some of those blue states, but they're quite frankly, aren't very many jurisdictions that are doing it. So we're proud of that. We obviously have a very light tax at the state level, but the one thing that's been tough for people is the property tax." And now property taxes will be largely removed. LFG ☀️

Q: Are the contractors who did the initial work with the reflecting pool are they to blame for the current condition? Trump: No, no, we had vandalism, vandals. We have 100, and we have a I think 290, 300 foot slit right through it. Probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind or we had people lifting up the basic. it’s not a lot of damage. We’ll probably have to let the water out and re fix it. They went in there with a knife. I was just told by the people over at parks, they have five people are arrested and five people are under investigation right now. And it’s a sad thing. In addition to that, they you know, we put brand new beautiful grass all around. They put these massive letters on the grass. You probably know about that, right? And they said 86, 47. They probably got that from the dirty cop Comey. You know, he’s a dirty cop, don’t you? Dirty cop. He’s a crooked guy. They destroyed the grass. So, that’s a big thing.

Bougie on a budget🌭 I think I found my kielbasa replacement and it’s at Walmart. Marketside Uncured Beef Franks. Clean ingredients, no sugar, no seed oils, no weird additives. Just meat and seasonings. 27g of fat. And they’re GOOD. Like actually good. Under $6 for 4 jumbo links (about $1.20 each) or 8 smaller ones for the same price. Pair with eggs and you’ve got a full carnivore meal for under $2. I live on a $50/week food budget. That’s not a flex, that’s just my reality and I’m guessing it’s a lot of yours too. So I make it my mission to find the best budget options out there, test them, and bring them back to you so you don’t have to guess. Budget carnivore is not a compromise. Quality and affordability can absolutely coexist, you just have to know where to look. I’m looking. So you don’t have to. 🥩

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.

While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.
