The Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE, has stepped into the U.S. and has made an outline of what they want to do for this country.  This new department, assigned during this current run of presidency, is in charge of reducing federal spending. This new program has actually given us one thing they are planning to do, and that is giving dividend checks to U.S. citizens who pay their taxes. Each citizen will receive $5,000, almost the same as how citizens had received stimulus checks back when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. 

Dividend checks are money distributed by a company that is divided among the shareholders. This is used mainly in situations like stock shareholders, property, etc. Dividend checks are used to reward the shareholders and show gratitude to them. Dividend checks can vary among what is given to each person; it can be money or something else.

After a long process of thinking, current president Donald Trump has selected billionaire owner of many companies, Elon Musk, as the head of DOGE. We have seen a great amount of appearances of Musk in many Trump rallies, and we have seen him in the White House, as well. We hope to see more in the future in what this department can do for our country. We hope it does well for us. 

It is very ironic how this department was named this. The abbreviation is actually a popular meme: the Doge dog from the mid 2010’s. It is also ironic how Elon Musk, partial owner of Doge Coin is now the leader of this department. 

People all over the media have mixed emotions about this department and how they could even reach their goals due to the fact that the country is trillions of dollars in debt. The White House has promised positive things for this country, and we hope that we will see good things in this program.
