DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

The DOGE numbers don't add up.

Bonds are just an interest bearing savings account at The Fed
St Louis Fed
🤑
They're lies.
They're fraudulent.
Why should we lead by giving Elon *any* benefit of the doubt here? Doesn't that just legitimate this by the implication it would be okay if done with competence?
No shit sherlock. Trump is a pathological liar and sociopath dope who has no clue and musk is a anarchist white national lunatic..
Media news flash Trump is lying anytime his mouth is moving..
All Musk is doing is creating a financial crash
"I buy 1G of milk every week, but end up throwing out 1/4 of it, because it goes sour. If I buy a smaller container - it costs more per gln, but I use all of it." - SAVINGS
"I no longer buy milk. Yes, my kids will probably get rickets." - NOT SAVINGS
So they're lying that they are.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS...
...but mostly smoke.

Wait until the jobs report comes out from the Department of Labor.
We have entered Soviet Russian truthiness from this Administration
We save a 💵
Assuming our government pays for public goods & services when it prints a 💵
We use government created dollars to shop, pay our banks back, pay tax and net save a 💵
Now we can swap our 💵 for a t bond and have a savings account (risk free asset) at The Fed
This is not an "accounting error" problem.
Defunding programs they don't like is *not* uncovering fraud.
This is hack-and-slash budgeting for the mathematically illiterate.
OK.
How about LIES.

But, yes, you’re quite right.
But only if you are Nazi enough...
Oops?? His bad. We sent condoms to Gaza Province, Mozambique!!!
Elon Musk is from South Africa!!! Mozambique borders South Africa!!! It was no mistake. It was to incite maga rage! Convince me otherwise.
They aren't. They are just making bullshit up. Stop pretending it's "sloppy" or "mistakes". The only "sloppy mistakes" is that they are getting caught so easily in their lies.
And repeat that now. Sloppy mistakes. Not intentionally misleading with a fucking agenda that you refuse to call out.
Call us when you start to take this threat seriously.
Elon lies a lot.
Why are Republicans in Congress not protecting us from these DOGE crazies?
