he US government’s credit card scandal is now being exposed in real time and the scale is staggering. Over 4.6 million active credit cards held by government agencies processed 90 million transactions racking up $40 billion in spending in 2024 alone. It is not just overspending, this is a clean out of American taxpayers’ money.
A pilot program auditing unused and unnecessary credit cards within government agencies has already deactivated over 200,000 cards in just three weeks. The fact that they managed to cut that many so quickly speaks volumes about the rampant misuse. Yet even after this purge the government still holds more than double the number of credit cards as there are federal employees. Where is the accountability
The numbers are beyond comprehension. 4.6 million active credit cards for what purpose exactly. There are less than 2 million full time federal employees but somehow there is a card for practically everyone and their cousin. Worse, $40 billion in spending last year from these cards alone. It is not just excessive, it is organized theft on an industrial scale.
This was not just fraud, it was a complete clean out. There is no possible way all those transactions were legitimate. The government handed out these cards like candy and who knows where that money went. Some suspect these cards may have funded operations for left wing NGO foot soldiers fueling the very chaos and unrest we have seen in America’s cities. Paid protests, orchestrated riots, and mass disruptions conveniently funded through backdoor government credit lines. The pattern is undeniable.
What is even more infuriating is that no government leader caught this until now. The people we trusted to safeguard our money let this happen. No accountability. No oversight. Nothing. Now that 200,000 cards have been axed in record time it is clear these cards were not essential. The logical question is how much more is still out there.
It is not hard to connect the dots. $40 billion in spending, 90 million transactions, and nobody cared to investigate until now. When you give a government official a credit card with no strings attached it becomes a free for all. Imagine how much of that $40 billion went straight into the hands of corrupt politicians, activist groups, and their foot soldiers. Why else would they need millions of cards.
This is not a robbery, it is a coordinated clean out of taxpayer money. American citizens work hard, pay their taxes, and expect that money to be spent wisely. Instead, tens of billions of dollars were flushed down the drain. There is a very real chance that these funds were directly fueling anti-American activities funding organizations that push chaos and division in the country.
The government owes America an answer. If 200,000 cards were terminated in just three weeks, how many more are completely unnecessary. Why does the government have more credit cards than employees. Where did that $40 billion actually go. The silence from leadership is deafening, but Americans are waking up fast.
And now, with over 4.4 million active cards still out there this clean out has only just begun.
