The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has released a series of startling findings
implicating the Biden-Harris administration in what appears to be widespread government contract abuse. In a detailed announcement issued on Sunday, DOGE reported that hundreds of millions of dollars in government funds were awarded to companies with owners whose ages are, by all normal standards, impossible—raising serious questions about oversight, accountability, and the integrity of federal spending programs.
In one of the most shocking revelations, DOGE disclosed that the Small Business Administration (SBA) had disbursed approximately $312 million in payments to companies whose reported owners were under the age of 11. Although legal loopholes may exist in rare circumstances, the agency noted that the sheer number—5,593 such loans—combined with evidence such as mismatched Social Security numbers and incorrect names, strongly suggested that these loans were fraudulently processed. DOGE stated, “While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these loans.” The agency further added that it was working closely with the SBA to resolve the issue during the current week.
In an equally perplexing development, DOGE revealed that an additional $333 million had been distributed via 3,095 loans between 2021 and 2022 to businesses allegedly owned by individuals aged 115 or older. Among these, one case highlighted by Fox News detailed how a 157-year-old “business owner” received $36,000 in grants, including funds from both the pandemic-era Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans—programs designed to support businesses during economic shutdowns. In cases involving companies claimed to be owned by children, nearly 5,600 loans were approved between 2020 and 2021. Nearly all of these loans were later forgiven without repayment after the owners had promised to use the funds to prevent staff layoffs.
These revelations have added fuel to ongoing investigations by DOGE—a Trump administration initiative aimed at rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending. The findings come at a time when political pressure to rein in government inefficiencies is mounting. DOGE, which is now in its seventh week of investigation, has uncovered additional contracts with political connections to the Biden administration. One particularly egregious example involved a former member of the previous president’s transition team who was linked to a nonprofit that secured over half a billion dollars in government grants to operate a Texas migrant facility—a facility that, according to DOGE, was never utilized and had reported no other sources of revenue on its application.
At the same time, DOGE’s work has garnered strong public support. Recent polls indicate that 72% of Americans back the agency’s mission. President Donald Trump has even gone as far as suggesting that “DOGE dividends” might be returned to taxpayers in the form of checks resulting from the savings generated by these spending cuts.
