so what, savings are savings at this point it all helps. I am sure there are plenty of errors in the books for all the departments, so if DOGE makes a few it’s ok.
So you brag about your findings only to have to keep rolling them back. What a way to build confidence and trust. Also https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/news/content/ar-AA1zOYSD?ocid=sapphireappshare
Sorry Joey sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
You don’t get to demand 1 standard for you an a much higher standard for everyone else
DOGE don’t do anything quietly. They shout out their mistakes.
This coming from NYT, I’ll. Believe it when Trump or Musk stat it, not before.
These newsclowns at the New York Times kept quiet for 5 years while Sleepy Joe was dropping loads in his adult diapers and loads out of his senile mouth.
You mean the good guys shouldn’t be held to a high standard? Isn’t that a form of DEI?
You got a problem. One of the items is claimed to be mucked up by Biden. By one of the folks in this thread. And is one of the large finds that had been pulled off. Don’t fall into the msm trap.
Musk didn't make up the data, he only reported what was found in the IT systems.
Musk doesn't make the decisions to cancel spending, the Department head does, based on the findings of DOGE, based on the entries in the systems, based on the civil servants who entered the data.
It's justified to report a savings of $5 billion...
Sorry, a family call interceded at this point and I had to step away for a few hours...
The thought I was typing was that it was justified to report what their own data showed as savings because their own reports that their respective departments were using for planning included those inflated numbers as fact. By correcting those erroneous numbers, those departments had more money to plan for -- or to release back to the government for deployment elsewhere.
Without DOGE finding those reporting errors, future planning would have continued to be based on those erroneous planning numbers.

What you’re writing and excusing is the same thing as what has Trump supporters in a tizzy regarding the FBI. The found something and reported/prosecuted it. In some cases not taking the time to verify what it had found.
