I was ignorant about DOGE

[CrusaderFrank]

See I thought Trump stopped DOGE from finding more savings and that’s why he stopped at $150B

I was wrong

The democrat Party stopped DOGE from saving taxpayers

DOGE identified $850B in savings but only implemented $150B

The rest is in court

The “best Biden ever running circles around his staff AutoPen” Party and their Pravda media continue to lie nonstop 24/7/365 about EVERYTHING

Best thing to do is assume they’re lying

Politics and graft are against DOGE and it looks like politics and graft are winning. That's a ******* shame.

Still going......everday updates. Maybe useless deep state manager appointee should have been doing since 2000 or so? How can Mac&CheeseDik & his boys PKKKnobsonit snicker and mock? What a bag of human waste these Board Stain are. Fake news my butt.

Over the last 3 days, agencies have terminated 90 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $1.5B and savings of $200M including a $911k NASA DEI climate contract for “integrating earth observations toward advancing equitable resilience to geo-hazards in a


IRS saved $12.3M/yr cancelling 11,000 unused Power Apps (44k to 33k) and 1,565 Project Planner licenses (3,465 to 1,900).

SEC saved $3.4M/yr by removing 1,300 general Office 365 licenses

When the DOGE mission ends in 2026 they will have identified AT LEAST $2 Trillion is waste, fraud, abuse and redundancy.

But will anything be cut?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The topic of the thread is DOGE. If you can't discuss that then leave the thread.

Unwrapping decades of government bloat takes time to identify, and will take more time to remove from the federal budget.

Different system. Maybe they don't have the divide and breakdown of powers our system has.

 

[JohnDB]

From the outside looking in....

The Democrats lost on Dodge big time.

They are seen as promoting FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE....and fighting constantly with smear campaigns is not helping them whatsoever. Waste, fraud and abuse is the ONLY constant in DC spending. It makes people happy when investigated and cut out.
It ALSO cuts directly into the power of congress who has oversight committee's and committee chairs. LOTS of graft happens in oversight committees. Everything from insider stock trading to kickbacks in campaign contributions.

And NOW you know why Elon was so polarizing. Nobody wanted him to do his job. And Elon just looked at the "low hanging fruit) the difficult stuff wasn't even touched yet.

Getting the picture yet?

AI Overview

It appears you're asking if DOGE, President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, cost more to operate than it saved. While DOGE claimed substantial savings on government contracts, some analyses indicate these figures were inflated or inaccurate. For example, one analysis found that DOGE's claimed savings of $55 billion were closer to $2 billion when accounting for errors and overstated figures. Furthermore, the Partnership for Public Service predicted that DOGE's overall efforts would actually cost taxpayers money.

seems the OP is the ignorant one.

I like Doge. One of the best ideas that I've seen in many years. Now where are the arrests for all the fraud and wasted spending?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Now that the court challenges are falling to the wayside, DOGE can function as intended.

It's already around $560 billion.

Wait, no, they were in Noem's purse when it got stolen.

Sorry, not sorry.

 

[leftwinger]

DOGE was up to $190B saved last week. Contracts cut, revamped etc. Buildings closed, equipment changed out.

They apparently have over $500B in cuts or sacings possible not yet implemented have to go thru Congress? Or is that $300B minus savings booked?
