The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency released shocking findings on Sunday that the Biden-Harris administration had awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to an unexpected group: children.
An agency announcement revealed that the Small Business Administration disbursed $312 million in payments to companies whose purported owners are under the age of 11.
This disclosure comes as DOGE works to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending.
“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.”
During the announcement, DOGE also disclosed that an additional $333 million was distributed in 3,095 loans between 2021 and 2022 to businesses owned by individuals aged 115 or older.
