AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Federal spending is higher since President Trump took office even as the Department of Government Efficiency slashes contracts, cuts jobs and ends diversity programs.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of daily financial statements issued by the Treasury Department found government spending since the inauguration is $154 billion more than in the same period in 2024 during the administration of President Joe Biden.
DOGE claims cuts of $150 billion so far, but the Journal analysis found those efforts have yet to affect the bottom line.
