So Who’s Keeping An Eye On DOGE?

Yes, the BBC has spread propaganda. This reply of yours is a deflection. You can not support your false beliefs

I just did numbnuts.
Why is Trump begging to hire workers his president fired?
Trump and his cult have the attention span of a gnat.

Here’s a “common sense” test: Do you think it’s likely that over 80% of the budget for Immigration and Customs Enforcement went to a single civil rights contractor?
No, it’s not. The number is more like 0.1%.
But that glaring accounting mistake still hasn’t been acknowledged by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — over a day after Musk’s staff unveiled the “savings” they’ve supposedly produced for American taxpayers by setting fire to the federal government.
The number was dead wrong: DOGE’s website stated — apparently based on a government website that contained an error — that a contract for “program and technical support services” for the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights at ICE was worth $8 billion in total.

But the dweebs at DOGE still claimed that they saved 8 billion...not the 8 million (actually LESS because 2.5 mil had already been spent)'
'How do you trust inexperienced "auditors" who make such a basic "mistake" and then don't a\correctly fix it?

Fact-checking Elon Musk's claims in the Oval Office

The billionaire has made a number of exaggerated or unevidenced claims during a White House event.

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

Doge is investigating doge! That's what they do. They are totally trustworthy!

And why not? We've untrusted Congress to investigate and control congressional spending for decades and that worked out great, didn't it?

The ICE line item wasn’t the only apparent mistake. CBS News pointed out another: DOGE claimed a savings of $654,990,000 three times over in their accounting of a single contract — known as an “indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity,” or IDIQ. In reality, the contract has cost $400 million over the past four years, and “is likely to have only minimal additional spending,” according to the report.
In other words, DOGE may have overstated the “savings” in that instance by as much as $1.96 billion.
Why didn’t DOGE even acknowledge its accounting errors worth billions of imaginary dollars? What accounts for the tens of billions in generalized “savings” that aren’t itemized anywhere? And why didn’t a 99.9% decrease in the estimated “savings” from the ICE line item affect DOGE’s topline figures?

Why do you feel that you need to make a fool of yourself automatically defending anything DOGE no matter what?
It is a legitimate question; who is keeping an eye on DOGE?
You may be WAY, WAY too trusting and gullible if you think Elon is trustworthy just because he works for Trump.
You've got to remember, Trump himself doesn't exactly have the most spotless record for honesty and integrity.
This guy has six bankruptcies on his record in addition to ripping off a children's charity.....a F-ING CHILDREN'S CHARITY!
He marketed a scam university for which he had to pay settlement money for ripping people off.
Not to mention tens of thousands of documented lies he's told.....in addition to being a convicted felon.
You see, Trump is just a pretty smarmy, greasy guy....so it's not like he hires "the best" people or anything.
There is good reason to be skeptical of Elon and DOGE.

What does any of that billowing smoke have to do with DOGE pulling its numbers from the federal payments records?

Oh yeah, NOTHING!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

They seem to be pretty fucking sloppy and incompetent and they have their hands in some pretty important pies

Is DOGE Just Making Up Numbers And Hoping No One Notices?

In its first public accounting, DOGE made huge, embarrassing errors — and then didn't acknowledge them.

www.huffpost.com

Are the permanent staff at these government agencies cooperating with DOGE auditors, and giving explanations as DOGE does their important work?

Or are they just stonewalling and trying to obstruct?

Somehow I think the people at executive department agencies like USAID aren't that cooperative at all with the Leader of the Executive Branch, Trump, and his deputies in DOGE.
