South Carolina lawmakers are considering a proposal to create a new commission called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to seek out waste, fraud, and inefficiencies in the state government. Proponents argue that current government oversight entities do not have the ability to detect true waste and fraud. However, Democrats criticize the proposal as a political stunt and argue that Republicans, who have held power in the state for over two decades, are responsible for any inefficiencies in the government. Despite skepticism from Democrats, supporters of the bill believe that the commission can provide valuable insights into state spending and budgeting. The proposed commission’s first task would be to review the state budget, with a focus on auditing state agencies and their allocation of resources. While the idea of seeking efficiency and cost-savings within the government is not new, the DOGE proposal has sparked debate among lawmakers in South Carolina.
