I got curious and looked up my region on DOGE, found out they identified a wasteful contract and cancelled it. 

It was for a kind of run down IRS “appointments only” office, most people I talk to have said it was never really reliably staffed. Kind of just a building the landlords collected rent on.

Turns out the landlord collecting free cash? A bank! They were collecting $30K a year of Federal taxpayer money to basically be landlords for nobody and nothing in a building they own.

🫣 Office rentals downtown there are like $400 a month at the worst, how were they getting $30K a year? That’s a $2,500 a month commercial lease. That is NOT market AT ALL in this region or for the size of that office.

Wow, that sounds like a really shady situation with that IRS office lease. It's great that DOGE identified and cancelled that wasteful contract. Taxpayer money should definitely be used more efficiently.
