The former president of the United States recently spent $1.9 trillion on regulatory costs, according to the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This information was shared in a widely circulated document by DOGE.
The document revealed that Biden’s administration implemented 1,217 rules that amounted to $1.9 trillion in costs. In comparison, during Trump’s first term, 1,340 rules cost $64.7 billion, and during Obama’s presidency, 2,997 rules cost $870.5 billion.
It is noteworthy that since Trump took office, DOGE has been working diligently to streamline government spending and increase efficiency, as mandated by its core mission.
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.”
