Dog was wasted billions with only a small portion of what he claims: reports

The Ministry of Governmental efficiency of the Trump Administration has been largely defined by amazing expectations. Initially from Dog’s trip, the main operator, Elon Musk, the famous, claimed a bout of brutal optimism, to hope for that Cut “at least” 2 trillion dollars Outside the federal budget. It was not long after the elections, musk decreased His ambitions to $ 1 trillion. For the first few months of Trump’s second state, Dogs claimed that he saves the Americans billions, but analyzes Show over and over again The organization was amplifying its savings and often primitive Mathematics errors. In May, the billionaire claimed that Dog had saved the Americans 160 billion dollars, however Admit that Org was “not effective” as he was hoping. At that time, the New York Times I mentioned that Dog has never reached $ 58 billion of alleged savings, and even those alleged savings “were greatly inflated, by including explicit errors and guesses about the future.”

Now, another effort to examine the facts aimed at the Musk initiative significantly reduces the facts and numbers. and Politico analysis He claims to be of about $ 52.8 billion, Doug claims to save the Americans by canceling many government contracts, it appears that only part has been achieved. The report states that, one of the proud savings about the DOGE “Wall” website, only 32.7 billion dollars can be verified in the actual contract savings demanded. Moreover, the news port found that “Doug’s savings during that period were closer to $ 1.4 billion.”

Politico also notes that none of these savings will not reduce the federal deficit unless the Congress is taken. Instead, the money has returned to the allocated agencies. In other words, Doga did nothing mainly. The apparent error was achieved through a bad understanding of time tables, as the report claims:

Savings accounts in Dog are based on wrong mathematics. The group uses the maximum spending possible under each contract as a basic line – which means that all the funds that the agency can spend in future financial years. This amount can much exceed what the government has already adhered to. The “Ceiling Value Value” account gives a wrong picture of the savings for taxpayers.

“This is the equivalent of obtaining a credit card mainly with a credit limit of $ 20,000, and to cancel it, then I say:” I have just provided $ 20,000, “said Jessica Telipman, assistant dean of government purchasing law studies at George Washington University Law Faculty.

As another is another Modern report This claims that Dog has largely spent more money in an attempt to reduce the size of the government more than providing it by destroying public programs. It is composed by the Senate Permanent Sub -Committee on Investigations, the analysis claims that Duji was detonated through about $ 21.7 billion of taxpayer money, as he tried to reduce the size of the federal workforce. Between January and July, Duji spent about $ 14.8 billion through the deferred resignation program, which prompted public employees “not working for up to eight months.” Dogs claimed that another $ 6 billion on “100,000 employees were separated from the federal service or who remain in long periods of administrative leave awaiting secession, many of whom were paid because they did not take their jobs for weeks or months.” The organization spent hundreds of other millions on various ineffective and waste policies.

The Senate Committee notes that the amount spent by Dog in this way is more than twice the amount that was permanently eradicated by the government (9 billion dollars, via Discounts to NPR, PBS, and external aid) during Cancellation package Voice for Republicans this summer. Meanwhile, Dog continued with the doubtful strange, her employees continued to absorb taxpayer money from the government. In March, NPR I mentioned that 40 million dollars of public funds have been divided into Doug’s activities, but much about the cost of the initiative is still unclear. In the same month, wireless Note that Some DOGE employees were making government salaries of six numbers for their oblique work and burning. The director pointed out that the money often came from the agencies that Dog was slaughtered.

If both recent studies are accurate, they reveal the very ridiculous lines of DOGE – an organization that claims to be rooted in waste and government fraud, but its operations appear to be a waste often whose general data is often, according to many press analyzes, fraud.

At this stage, what Hook Dog is unclear. The organization is not dead, but with Loss of its upper leader (Musk), his mandate It has become increasingly unclearAnd its activities are shrouded in mystery. Like the computer virus, the organization continues its way through bureaucratic courage and service of mysterious projects, such as Create a database for national citizenship It has disturbed privacy activists.

Some former Duji members continue to prove useful proof of the administration in other ways. Last week, Dog-Line, 19-year-old known as “Big Balls” (real name Edward Corestine) managed to be exposed to her face by a set of events during a picnic in the nation’s capital, According to Washington Police, DC. The Viseage of Coristine scene has been widely shared on the Musk’s X platform and other social media. Incident Since then, it was a justification for Trump’s authoritarian federal federalism of the local police forces in the capital, the episode shows that although Dog was an absolute wreck from the point of view of governance and politics, it continues to serve some jobs that are decisive to the success of the current regime: Maali, those of public relations (IE, the calling department).
