Nearly $1 billion of DOGE ‘savings’ vanish overnight
Nearly $1 billion of DOGE ‘savings’ vanish overnight
More than $900 million in claimed ‘savings’ were quietly removed from DOGE’s ‘wall of receipts’ this week
There are no “savings”. That was a cover story. This is about gaining access to data and firing anyone who might enforce rules.
100% will cost more than it "saves" and result in a much less functional society.
Gee I wonder where that money went… This just in: Narcissistic racist oligarch with a breeding fetish likely stole the money for his “legion” fund. Funny how both him and Epstein were obsessed with populating the earth with their progeny. Too bad only one of them is dead.
The man is a thief, but there's nothing to steal here. He's lowering his totally bogus $ amount that he supposedly saved the government based on contract and lease cancellations.
Every single contract (~10) that I know very specific details about that was DOGE-cancelled has a problematic "savings" amount on the doge.gov website. Every one is wrong. That's just the 10 I know about where I have privileged information. There's currently more than 8000 listed. I suspect most of those have similar issues with the reported "savings" amount.
This is straight accounting that they are botching.
Nevermind that the $ savings is bogus even if the accounting was accurate. Because these cancellations are costing the US taxpayer big-time in the long run.
Man, anytime I have been under an NDA it's been about boring, mostly useless stuff related to Canadian telecom stuff or upcoming Microsoft products since I work in print and deal with those companies. I wish I got to see stuff like what you get to see, probably way more interesting than knowing the Xbox 360 would use an amd gpu instead of nvidia or that carrier A's pricing strategy is to copy carrier B.
Literally the only creative bone in the Republican party is the accounting side.
IMO I doubt there's actually theft of the savings... there's some real chaos. but the savings numbers are all made up with no tie to reality. Moneys not stolen, because the savings were never real... dude's managing to shut down half the functions of the government, lay off hundreds of thousands of people... and failing to reduce costs in the process.
Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE, lowered expectations of the group’s savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
So, a failure even on their own terms.
The original goal was 2 trillion. It's less than 1% of the original goal now.
Edit: Less than 10% which is still pathetic, but this is why I shouldn't do math in my head.
150 billion is 7.5% of 2 trillion
That’s weird. I thought he was making government more efficient to save taxpayers’ money.
What a shite webpage. No matter how many times I close the tiny stupid video window, it will spring up like bloody herpes with every touch. Yahoo, you're as bad as herpes. Eat shit.
Presumably being used for illegal bribes
Can't use made-up numbers for bribes.
