What improvement has DOGE discovered?
This is good.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, recently announced that it discovered $4.7 trillion in Treasury payments that were missing a critical tracking code, making them nearly impossible to trace. This code, known as the Treasury Account Symbol (TAS), links payments to budget line items1. Without it, tracking where the money went becomes very difficult.
DOGE has made the use of the TAS code mandatory to improve transparency and ensure that funds are spent as intended. This discovery has been touted as a significant step towards improving Treasury payment integrity1.
