Musk's initial promise: $2 trillion in savings.

Actual savings: Possibly none at all overall, once indirect costs like federal employee severance/productivity losses are taken into account.
So basically an amateurish debacle. https://t.co/1oYe98rQ5e

Horrible news. We are running a $2 Trillion yearly deficit, and the UniParty wants to spend more.
Yeah, I was really looking forward to my DOGE dividend.
I bet you were too.
I guess we got duped.

DOGE was always a smokescreen that accomplished nothing except killing a bunch of kids in Africa. Sorry you had to find out this way.

Amfar monies are still being sent to Africa via the State Department.
You don't care about our calamitous budget, or anything Trump is reflexively bad?
We see USAID and USIP were a total sh-t show, and we now know NGOs are a fame to route monies wherever, that is untraceable. No FOIA requests, no audits.
Look at the Education Department, all noise, no signal. Mississippi turned their school scores / Education around by reportedly going back to basics, heavy emphasis in reading, children stopped in third grade (?) if they're not at grade level. Several southern states are excelling.
Well, DOGE did do a good job of eliminating much of the mid and upper management over 55 (who needs experienced leadership?) and eliminating the people that had just been hired at no small expense (who needs the employees of the future?).sycasey said:movielover said:

Now that Trump and Musk have gotten rid of all the waste, fraud, and abuse - what is the next step?

As usual, this is fake news from @Reuters. President Trump was given a mandate by the American people to modernize the federal government and reduce waste, fraud and abuse. Just last week, DOGE terminated 78 wasteful contracts and saved taxpayers $335M. We’ll be back in a few… https://t.co/S1pSmx26s0

Your post is fake news, bro.
DOGE is continuing to cut liberal spending.
I think Sick Leave was handled similarly.

PRESIDENT CHUMP INCREASED THE NATIONAL DEBT BY $3.4 TRILLION OVER 10 YEARS.. $4.1 WHEN YOU INCLUDE INTEREST.
TURN YOUR BRAIN ON.
DO BETTER.
