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 list also needs to include and track the amount of money spent on lawsuits from fired employees and contractors/departments/states whose contracts were cancelled.
This is finances 101 from Wall Street. Show short term cost reduction which makes the shareholders giddy despite the reductions causing long term and secondary losses. And just like the institutional shareholders, the orange and nazi buffoons and their lackeys are in cahoots lining their pockets through self interest dealings while the public will be covering the eventual losses through their taxes.
Excellent point.
