Ernst on DOGE Caucus: “My Promise Was to ‘Make ‘Em Squeal’”

Press Release

“When I went into the United States Senate 10 years ago, my promise was to ‘make 'em squeal,’ and we are doing just that with the Department of Government Efficiency. I have 10 years worth of work on waste projects. My ‘Squeal Awards’ go out every single month, where I am identifying waste, fraud, abuse within the federal government and then proposing the solutions to end that waste.

I sat down with Vivek Ramaswamy this last week, provided him with a blueprint of $2 trillion of savings…was able the meet with Howard Lutnick, Elon [Musk], and, of course, our next great President of the United States, Donald Trump, and visit with them about the goals of DOGE and how we can take all of the research that has been done in my office over the last decade and provide them with a very clear blueprint for success.

I have run up against so many different obstacles when proposing legislation to fix some of these spending issues. What I would point out to the American taxpayers and your viewers is that those that are pushing against cutting this waste out are usually the fat cats that are actually enjoying this government waste.”
