Summary
DOGE released an updated “wall of receipts” claiming $65 billion in savings, but its itemized total dropped from $16.6 billion to $9.6 billion.
Errors persist, including duplicate listings and inflated figures. Some contracts were counted multiple times, while others misreported savings.
Critics argue DOGE lacks documentation for most claimed cuts. The discrepancies raise transparency concerns as job losses mount from canceled contracts.
DOGE’s figures remain under scrutiny, with media and experts questioning its accounting practices.
The irony of wanting to be “bean counters” to trim corruption and waste in our government, and then have nobody on staff that can audit/track/compute anything. And I know their real goal is just to hamstring the government so nobody is left to prevent them taking everything, and/or selling it off to someone like Putin or Netanyahu. It is just the weirdest coup I think the world has ever seen.
