The Department of Homeland Security announced that a whopping $12 billion in savings have been made as a result of a contract review process and other cuts over the past two hundred days.
Secretary Kristi Noem is personally reviewing and signing off on or declining any contract over $100,000, which resulted in a $10.7 billion reduction, the department says.
Noem is now reviewing over 5,000 contracts, and DHS says decisions are made within a day.
“It is stunning that for years, career bureaucrats were unilaterally signing off on hundred-million-dollar contracts leading to massive waste, fraud, and abuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.
“While lobbyists and special interests are fighting for government contracts, Secretary Noem is fighting for the American taxpayer,” Noem said.
“In less than seven months, she’s saved the U.S. taxpayer $12 billion—that’s more than $50 million a DAY since she took office,” Noem continued.
