WASHINGTON D.C. ~ The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officially came to an end on July 4 after a tumultuous run attempting to cut government costs.
Created by President Donald Trump on his first day in public office, DOGE was spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk and aimed to cut about $2 trillion dollars in government spending, though later claimed that only about $215 billion was cut. The program drew criticism over mass federal government layoffs and claims that the cuts made were done haphazardly. Federal agencies are reportedly looking to refill many positions that were cut by DOGE.
