$8 million for making mice transgender.

If I were a mouse, I wouldn't do that for $8 million. But these mice had no choice!

Seriously, this money is not even trying to buy strategic alliances around the world like China does with bait and switch uh belt and road. Our money was trying to spread left-wing politics around the world.

I saw this article .  I distinctly recall Elon and Vivek calling for volunteers.   

I guess that idea did not work out.

I am not sure they should be paid with government money though.  Can't they find money somewhere else.  How about Trump's meme coin money?

[Crafty_Dog]

But the point is that they ARE govt employees, yes?

[ccp]

I don't know really

contractors ?

[Crafty_Dog]

Pretty sure this has been definitively answered here.

DOGE is a rename of something duly set up by Obama.  Its people ARE govt employees.

A billion dollar survey that should have cost $10,000, led to no changes.

More Federal Credit Cards issued than federal employees.

(Doug). When do some of these wasteful, fraudulent, unauthorized expenditures become criminal conduct?
