Fox News revealed the latest Congressional Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus memo, which promised to target any government waste.
Fox News Digital reported the memo contains eight goals, describing some as “practical” and others as “symbolic.”
“The federal government must serve the interests of taxpayers, and taxpayers are best served by a lean, efficient, transparent, and accountable bureaucracy,” the first principle read, according to a draft memo obtained by Fox News Digital.The document also suggested both lofty and smaller-scale goals. “No amount of waste, fraud, abuse, duplication, or administrative bloat is too small or too large to fix.” DOGE Caucus leaders had previously put an emphasis on “low-hanging fruit” to start their mission with, like unused federal office space held by agencies with remote work policies.The memo puts such employees on notice, noting that they and any federal regulations or agencies “must demonstrate effectiveness for and responsiveness to taxpayers while also not creating unnecessary costs or burdens.”
“We’ve articulated our vision in a transparent manner that is both concise and consumable for every American,” DOGE Caucus co-founder Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL) told Fox News Digital.
The caucus even warned it would support eliminating “existing federal agencies, programs, rules, regulations, or functions that do not provide value to taxpayers” if no one can reform them.
The members also stressed that “All rules and regulations should be grounded in statute. Congress enacts public policy, not unelected bureaucrats.”
“The mandate is clear: every dollar spent in Washington must deliver a direct benefit to the people it serves, while prioritizing transparency, accountability, and efficiency,” said Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), according to Fox News.
