The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has turned its focus onto large contracts that the federal government outsources to different consulting firms.
Federal agencies have now been asked by DOGE to review their spending as well as contract costs with consulting firms. The 10 major firms whose contracts with the government are now under review include Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture, General Dynamics, Leidos, Guidehouse, HII Mission Technologies Corp, Science Applications International Corporation, CGI Federal, and International Business Machines Corporation, according to Business Insider.
The list of 10 firms earns billions of dollars a year performing outsourced tasks in contracts with different federal agencies. They are usually hired to advise the federal government on how to asses as well as advise the government on how to perform its functions better.
Deloitte, in the 2024 financial year, earned just 9 percent of its revenue from contracts with the government. Consulting firms like Booz Allen Hamilton, however, heavily rely on contracts with the government.
The consulting firm separated from its private sector consulting arm in 2008 and nearly all its revenue comes via government contracts at around $11 billion. Leidos Holdings is a consulting firm that provides technology for national security purposes. Many of the consoling firms work directly with the Defense Department. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
