The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency laid out a series of startling findings on Sunday showing the Biden-Harris administration granted hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to the unlikeliest of vendors: children.
An agency announcement listed $312 million in payments from the Small Business Administration to companies whose purported owners are under the age of 11. The disclosure comes as DOGE seeks to root waste, fraud, and abuse from federal line items.
“While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these 5,593 loans, as they all also used an SSN with the incorrect name,” the agency wrote. “@DOGE and @SBAgov are working together to solve this problem this week.”
While making the announcement, DOGE also revealed that another $333 million was doled out in 3.095 loans between 2021 and 2022 to businesses whose owners are age 115 or older.
