🇺🇸 FEDERAL NON-DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS DROP 20.5% UNDER DOGE ORDER
Non-defense federal obligations for 2025 are down 20.5% from last year—and the cash outlay curve is about to follow.
The driver:
Persistent government-wide contract reviews targeting wasteful spending under the DOGE Cost Efficiency Executive Order.
Trump’s directive to streamline the federal sprawl is hitting real numbers now, not just headlines.
With obligations shrinking before payouts, it’s a sign that cutting through bureaucracy might finally be cheaper than fueling it.
Accountability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s starting to dent the federal checkbook.
