What is a Dodge - When $8 Million Become $8 Billion

[Dante]

DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million.​

The biggest single line item on the website of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team appears to include an error.

What is a Dodge - When $8 Million Become $8 Billion: /When a DOGE becomes a DODGE: We will see more of this. Why? It's related to Trump. Musk and Trump. In Europe We see Trump wanting a "peace" deal so badly, he's siding with Russia over Ukraine. Trump wants to be seen as saving billions of dollars with his attacks on the administrate state (what we need to run a government), that I suspect we'll see more of this. As a matter of fact I believe this isn't the first time some bragging about cost cutting has been shown to be bs. Same with the border and immigration arrests numbers.

The people involved seem to be clueless about numbers. Yet Trump has Musk sending in people who are seeking access to personal information/data of everybody. Think about that for a minute.

Musk's and Trump's WALL OF RECEIPTS

The Department of Government Efficiency, the federal cost-cutting initiative championed by Elon Musk, published on Monday a list of government contracts it has canceled, together amounting to about $16 billion in savings itemized on a new “wall of receipts” on its website.

Almost half of those line-item savings could be attributed to a single $8 billion contract for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. But it appears that the DOGE list vastly overstated the actual intended value of that contract. A closer scrutiny of a federal database shows that a recent version of the contract was for $8 million, not $8 billion. A larger total savings number published on the site, $55 billion, lacked specific documentation.

The contract, with a company called D&G Support Services, was to provide “program and technical support services” for the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights at ICE. The Trump administration has been purging diversity programs from the federal government.

By examining past versions of the contract listed on the Federal Procurement Data System, The Upshot determined that the federal award, approved in September 2022, had initially listed a total value of $8 billion. But on Jan. 22 this year, that figure was updated to $8 million. According to the database, the contract was terminated about a week later. (For context, $8 billion is nearly the size of the entire budget of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

Even the $8 million is an upper bound on the amount saved by canceling the contract. Since $2.5 million had already been spent on the contract, according to data on USAspending.gov, that suggests that canceling it saved $5.5 million at most.

hello: even being fair in their reporting.


It’s possible that DOGE or someone else in the Trump administration can claim credit for fixing the error in the contracting database, given that the value was downgraded to $8 million two days after President Trump took office. But it is also clear that the government was not spending $8 billion on the contract. In the two and a half years since it was signed, $2.5 million had been spent; the contract appeared set to expire in 2027.

The DOGE website initially included a screenshot from the federal contracting database showing that the contract’s value was $8 million, even as the DOGE site listed $8 billion in savings. On Tuesday night, around the time this article was published, DOGE removed the screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim $8 billion in savings. It added a link to the original, outdated version of the contract worth $8 billion.

By Wednesday morning, DOGE had updated its list to show $8 million in savings, though it did not acknowledge the error or explain how it might affect its calculation of total money saved, which remained unchanged. A loss of $8 billion in savings would represent nearly 15 percent of the total savings claimed by DOGE.

I see someone is busy checking out Musk and Trump.

But, don't give a rip about the rest.

Maybe they could help Musk and Trump find the waste and fraud?

The links are great. Can't lie and hide when we have the evidence.
