He highlighted that significant progress has been made in reducing government waste, but emphasized that the mission is far from complete. Vance stated that the initiative, referred to as DOGE, will likely need continued support from Congress to address &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; expenditures, expressing optimism that the current Republican-led Congress would be responsive.<\/p>\n<p>during his conversation on &#8220;The Clay Travis &#038; Buck Sexton Show,&#8221; Vance noted that while DOGE has made significant strides, its work will never be \u201ctruly done\u201d due to the entrenched nature of waste and fraud within the government. He predicted that future generations will recognize the financial savings brought about by DOGE. Moreover,he mentioned that some Democrats might agree on the necessity to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-kevin-mccarthy-gives-speech-on-house-floor-after-winning-speakership\/\" title=\"WATCH: Kevin McCarthy Gives Speech On House Floor After Winning Speakership\">eliminate wasteful spending<\/a> to prevent it from becoming an accepted part of government operations.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk, a known ally of former President Donald Trump, has suggested that DOGE could considerably cut government waste, although the projected savings have decreased from $2 trillion to $150 billion. Musk also indicated that his involvement with DOGE would lessen in the coming months, but he plans to remain engaged on government matters as needed. Irrespective, it has been suggested that DOGE will continue to thrive within the governance even without Musk&#8217;s day-to-day involvement.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Vance hints DOGE could continue past 2026 as its work will never be &lsquo;truly done&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2102731\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JD Vance<\/a> provided an update on the effects the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-government-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> is having on the U.S. government, during which he hinted that this initiative could continue past its expected completion date of July 4, 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Vance&rsquo;s assessment on DOGE was provided on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Trump administration&rsquo;s<\/a> 100th day in office.

Vance pitched a hypothetical scenario in which DOGE finds $10 billion in &ldquo;ridiculous&rdquo; spending that would need &ldquo;an act of Congress&rdquo; if the U.S. government wishes to use it to pay off debt. However, he expressed hope that Congress, currently under Republican leadership, would be &ldquo;very willing&rdquo; to provide these necessary acts.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And so I think DOGE is making a lot of progress, but it&rsquo;s not done, and I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s ever going to be truly done, right?&rdquo; Vance said on <em>The Clay Travis &amp; Buck Sexton Show<\/em>. &ldquo;This is one of these problems that we have to continually fight against, and the reason why it was such a shock to the system is we had allowed the waste and the fraud to become so endemic in the way that we did government in this country, and I don&rsquo;t think we should ever go back.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aKp8z8VTMkc?si=rsiafd-mqaD5n9zg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
