DOGE's latest federal contract savings report is a complete mess. They initially boasted about $16 billion in savings, but after a correction, it’s only $8.5 billion. NPR’s analysis shows their so-called "transparent" figures are still wildly exaggerated by billions! www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n... - ThreadSky

Not nearly enough to bankroll their 4-1/2 trillion dollar tax cuts.

c'mon now, what's a decimal point between friends? An extra zero or 2?

(F)Elon’s campaign was never about what he could do for the American people as President. It was all about revenge.

Dod(g)e was never about efficiency, but a billionaire getting richer by mining our private information.

Not only does it not add up, but there's no proof. As doge says they've got the receipts, but go to doge look at the receipts. It says it will be added tomorrow. It's said that since the site opened.

They need some auditors to audit their audit.

Also, and this can’t get repeated enough: DOGE has no real federal authority. Mad King Trump has apparently just wished it into law, Congress didn’t create it.

Are you implying that they have no idea what they're doing?? Perish the thought!!!

Whoever thought lying liars might make up numbers?

Trump and Elon have always been lying sales guys. They aren't the ones coming up with ideas and inventing things. They're just a couple spoiled rich guys that learned how to manipulate and steal from people.

You're in my starter pack!

They didn’t find savings. Congress appropriated funds for those programs. DOGE cancelled them because they don’t like those programs. That’s not savings. That’s fraud by DOGE.
