FLABBY FEDS: More Agency Spending Data Revealed

 OpenTheBooks has examined the growth of government spending over the years by analyzing data from the Federal Register. This study highlights issues of waste and poor recordkeeping within federal agencies.

• OpenTheBooks auditors found that 75 of the 441 entities listed in the Federal Register were defunct, indicating disorganization in federal recordkeeping.

• The initiative aims to catalog agency spending and staff sizes over decades, beginning with major agencies like the Departments of Defense and Education.

• Initial findings reveal that spending has increased more than the growth in agency staff or even inflation.

• A new batch of data includes Cabinet agencies like the Departments of Energy, Commerce, Labor, Interior, and independent agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

• The EPA reported spending grew from $7. 2 billion in 2000 to over $41. 1 billion by 2024, a 569. 5% increase, despite headcount decreasing by 13. 2% over the same period.

• Major budget increases at the EPA have occurred since 2020, significantly linked to actions by the Biden administration.

• The Department of Energy’s staff increased slightly (6. 7%), but spending rose by 389. 7%, with significant increases in the last four years.

• The Department of State saw its headcount shrink by 26. 6% since 2000, yet spending skyrocketed by 557. 7%.

• The State Department is currently reevaluating many grants, aiming to reduce overall spending by $60 billion.

• The FCC's staff decreased by 21. 6%, but their spending grew by 1,194. 6%, indicating a significant increase in financial outlay without a corresponding rise in personnel.

OpenTheBooks has begun releasing data that highlights alarming trends regarding agency spending compared to staff growth. These trends shed light on federal inefficiencies and suggest that taxpayers should stay informed about the spending patterns of federal agencies. Future releases will continue to provide a comprehensive picture of government growth.

I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
