The spotlight may have moved off the DOGE since the departure of Elon Musk, but the Trump administration’s DOGE continues to post about cost cutting on its so-called “wall of receipts.” And once again, some of its claims about savings appear to be significantly overstated, according to a CBS News review.
The review of three of the largest cuts claimed so far indicates the savings from those contracts are less than 3% of what DOGE said they were.
Cutting costs is a business term that relates to profits. It really has no value in terms of government where service delivery is about public health and welfare.
