How much does a food poisoning outbreak cost? What about spreading deadly disease? A new pandemic? Your bank ripping you off? These clowns are costing us money.
I saved my family $100 billion by not having the opportunity (or the resources) to spend $100 billion. The claim that I did this remains free and total bullshit just like Musk and Trump.
The only money they saved hurt many people and cost the country dearly. We will soon feel the effects.
I’ll put money on them saying they repurposed it into “infrastructure”. That’s what companies do when they pretend they are cost cutting but no one is really monitoring it.
Did he save any money? I haven’t seen any documentation of such. If he’s doing so well at his “job”, why aren’t they providing proof to the American people? Where will these “found funds” be allocated?
It's going to get very interesting* when America starts defaulting on debts & stops maintaining infrastructure & kills benefits & doesn't pay government employees or fulfil contracts & the machinery of state begins to crumble a little each day.
When huge numbers of people have no jobs because they get fired and there is no system to help them, in a place where gun owenrship is totally normal. Seems to me like a perfect storm.
With the fees and extra interest as well as the costs of buying a car to live in when you get thrown out it doesn't seem like great accounting does it.

Does that GINORMOUS savings include the $8 BILLION that was actually $8 million??
And tell us about all those 150-year-old Social Security recipients who are actually nowhere near that old, okay? Because your idiot coder-boys DON'T UNDERSTAND COBOL?
There is absolutely zero chance "doge" has saved, or will save, any money. The criminals are charge are going to pocket that money. Musk has already started to.
A huge chunk of his cash is in tesla sock, which is crashing. Such people get huge amounts of cash loans that are secured against stock/ assets, so its sort of not theirs.
This reminds me of the Steward healthcare executives who sold all of the Hospital real estate, pocketed the money, then didn’t pay the rent; bankrupt the entire corporation and walked away with several yachts and all the money. The robber barons are in the White House.
Exactly, MAGA might think they're saving money when the Nazis fire EPA scientists (so Trump can give that money to billionaires), but when America's cancer rates go up, because our food, air and water is full of chemicals banned in Europe, we'll pay for those cuts. It's so simple minded & selfish.
Exactly. Ex. Low income person w/ no health ins—maga rejoices because why should tax $ cover this. Person can’t afford Dr appts or meds & health declines so much person can no longer work, ends up in the ER & then long term care all on the tax payers’ dime—the m in maga stands for MORONS.
So true. Also, every one of these cost savings should be considered a lie unless it has been independently verified. DOGE's track record is pretty poor so far.
DOGE offering up random, unsubstantiated “dollars saved” numbers, by getting rid of the workforce that serves the public.
And not getting that these are SERVICES paid for by taxpayers.
Spot on. Illegal cancelling of signed contracts is not saving but adding to costs. Decision goes to courts and government has to spend to defend. Same with improper firings and improper freeze of approved appropriations. Firings will cause all sorts of costs from chaos and mismanagement.
According to? 23 year old totally reliable forensic accountants of DOGE? $8B revised to $8M for example.. Just guessing, but I think damage from bird flu, measles, tuberculosis, air traffic control problems, nuclear oversight etc going apeshit, are going to cost many times any nominal savings.
"Reportedly" means about as much as, "People are saying." People who are incapable of feelings of shame or being offended shouldn't be quoted like their personal honor might mean something.
I hope they are going to factor in all of the costs of advertising, hiring process, onboarding, including incentives paid, training, firing process for hundreds of thousands of probationary employees. A huge waste of taxpayer dollars down the drain.
Not to mention that it wasn’t even NEAR this amount but now that this figure is out there the MAGATs will claim any other information is “fake news” because their God King Messiah can do no wrong
DOGE is lying or stupid, or both. I don't believe anything they claim without seeing specific examples. They talk in vague terms and when they give a specific example, it is missing a decimal or two OR is a complete fabrication.
Their numbers are inflated and they are purposely distorting information to deceive the listener…. Musks saving will be minimal with most coming from RIFs (Reduction in force).
1. They've been proved to have lied more than once already about their "discoveries" and "savings"
2. There's no accounting for incurred costs due to all this.
3. $100 B is less than 1.5% of the 2024 budget

Problematic that I cannot figure out who owes it to me.
And not getting that these are SERVICES paid for by taxpayers.

I know Republicans don't even understand how much a billion is, let alone a trillion. But you'd think they'd have to realize that at some point
