A new bill, known as the DOGE bill, is scheduled to be introduced on Monday. This legislative proposal seeks to address federal government overpayments, which have reportedly accumulated to trillions of dollars since the George W. Bush administration. According to FOX News, the lawmaker sponsoring the bill aims to recover these funds.

"New bill aims to recover trillions in federal overpayments dating back to Bush era," FOX News reports.

The initiative underscores concerns about financial management and accountability within federal operations. The proposed measure reflects ongoing efforts to ensure responsible fiscal governance and address past financial discrepancies.
