DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week
NY Times ^ | Josh Katz

Posted on 02/26/2025 1:34:06 PM PST by joesbucks

Last week, Elon Musk’s government cost-slashing initiative, which he calls the Department of Government Efficiency, posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.

Now the organization, which is also known as the U.S. DOGE Service, has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

Yeah because you know, the way things were run under biden, oblama, c,inton etc were much much better /s

Doge,isn’t perfect? Oh gosh, better shut the whole thing down and sulk in a corner then!

G8mme a break! Done is a million times better than we had under the crooks and liars during the liberal presidents this nation had to put,up with! Heck, the last president wasn’t even a functioning president but don’t remeber you post8ng about his many and massive failures then!

How much money did Biden and ilk cut and save when they were running g things? Yeah, that’s right- they spent like drunken fools! They didn’t cut ANYTHING! So enough with the petty witching about what done is dojng- at least they are doing positive th8ngs for,this nation... Sadly, all the left and their coddlers can do is batch about it!

Sometimes the first couple times at bat, you strike out. Then later you hit the grand slam which wins the game. We are still in the first inning.

Nothing that made a dent in the debt. It’s still over 36 trillion.

FWIW, early mistakes by DOGE, paired with quick or drastic action taken by Trump based on those mistakes, damages the brand and puts ultimate success at risk. So it’s about time BB and his DOGE co-workers start getting better nights’ worth of of sleep, and eating better food than just Red Bull, Cheetos and Totinos Pizza Rolls.

I disagree everyday there is more graft exposed and more importantly how things are spent is obfuscated and difficult to audit most likely deliberately.

I have found most people are loving what DOGE is doing.

Maybe they need a little Mountain Dew and some blow.

It took our forefathers seven years to win a war against an enemy that didn’t hide in plain sight and was strapped for cash.

This war, against an enemmy that hides in plain sight and is loaded, won’t be won in a few weeks.

Hold fast.

Joe likes to sit behind the home team dugout and yell at the players as they take the field.

Hmm let apply your standard to you

Hey Joe, seems you missed that the biggest supposed “mistake” was based off a data entry where the Biden Regime listed the value of a contact as $8 billion instead of $8 million

So since you, and your sources, are riddled with inaccuracies and lies by omission, I guess we can, using your standard, assume everything you, and your sources, publish are riddled with errors and lying

Isn’t the real issue Congress allocating funds for all the corruption and waste? Sure, the president doles some of it out specifically, but the funding starts with Congress. Yet, we’re fixing our ire on the admittedly often awful bureaucrats who are involved down the pipeline.

Oh yeah.

We have a good number of pearl-clutching anti-Trump people on this very forum who will swallow whole whatever the NYT, The Hill, or CNN spits out.

I say let them continue to pleasure themselves...it will keep them out of the way.

Or did you just rush to your keyboard, as usual, because your political masters at the DNC told you to go hype this non story today?

The cucks was SALIVATING when he saw this one.

Probably sprained his arm trying to post it faster.

Ha ha, sheesh MNJ, just offering This Guy’s meager $.02, no need to lash out!

Just looking for ways to improve the DOGE effort and deprive the omnipresent naysayer mill of grist.
