The immediate past president of the United States of America spent $1.9 trillion on regulatory costs, the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, said.
DOGE disclosed this in a widely circulated document.
According to the DOGE document, Biden’s administration initiated 1,217 rules costing the country $1.9 trillion.
In contrast, DOGE noted that during Trump’s first term as president, 1,340 rules cost $64.7 billion, and during Barack Obama’s presidency, 2,997 rules cost the US government $870.5 billion.
DAILY POST reports that since the emergence of Trump’s presidency, DOGE has swung into action to sanitise government spending and increase efficiency, which is its core mandate.
Reacting to DOGE’s latest move, Florida State Senator Rick Scott wrote on X: “Democrats’ ridiculous rules and regulations cost the American people $1.9 trillion over the past four years.
“Cutting big government regulations is how we make Washington work better for families.”
