Conservatives trapped in deep blue or RINO run states are dreaming of DOGE power as a game-changing force—one that can finally crack open the walls of corruption, enforce real accountability, and shine an unstoppable light of transparency on their states’ reckless governance.
Tax tyrants can and must be brought to heel through a bold new DOGE policy that upholds states’ constitutional authority while imposing strict conditions, unwavering accountability, and full transparency on federal funding. The era of unchecked taxation and reckless spending must end—states that bleed taxpayers dry should no longer receive blank checks from Washington. Instead, federal funds should come with clear, enforceable mandates ensuring that tax burdens are lowered, wasteful spending is curbed, and financial responsibility is restored. This is not about federal overreach but about forcing fiscal discipline where politicians have failed. With strong oversight and incentivized efficiency, we can break the cycle of financial mismanagement and return economic power to the people—where it belongs.
States receive an average of 27% of their total budget from the federal government, making serious oversight essential to preventing waste, fraud, and abuse. Some states rely even more heavily on federal dollars—Texas pulls in 39% of its budget from Washington, while Florida’s share sits at 37%. This level of dependence demands strict conditions and transparency to ensure taxpayers aren’t funding bloated bureaucracies and reckless spending sprees.
Deep blue states, led by feverish “tax and spend” Democrats, have become masters of squeezing their citizens dry. When evaluating the total tax burden—including income, sales, property, gas, and other taxes—blue states impose far heavier financial burdens than their red-state counterparts. Their addiction to taxation isn’t about necessity; it’s about control, and hardworking Americans are the ones paying the price.
Even at the gas pump, the difference is staggering. Blue states impose significantly higher fuel taxes, further draining the wallets of their residents. In deep blue strongholds—California gouges its drivers with a crushing 68.1 cents per gallon, Illinois follows closely at 66.5 cents, while red states like Alaska and Mississippi keep their gas taxes at a mere 8.95 and 18.4 cents per gallon, respectively. This isn’t governance—it’s legalized extortion, and it’s time for DOGE-powered oversight to put an end to it.
Today, we submitted a bold set of DOGE policy recommendations designed to help conservatives in blue states drain their swamps—a plan we’re calling "Follow the Money: State Transparency and Accountability."
