The entire federal government is likely rife with such waste and fraud. What needs to happen is for the entire federal budget to be sunset, so that every spending item has to be redebated and revetted. Otherwise this will never end.

“No other institution on earth can spend money like the U.S. government”

Hey Red State, be more specific: It is the uniparty Congress that steals our money then redistributes it. This is not difficult.

Either what you said - which they will never do - or fed.gov needs to just go broke altogether so leech contracts, NGOs and people can just go die.

I have a feeling that Musk and his crew found out how the accounting for u.s. government monies works...it was then passed on to monitors to do the compete ferreting out of the details ...meanwhile Musk left. His job was done. We need more cuts of the obvious boondoggling of federal(I.e. taxpayers) money. We need a partial refund for now. And pay down of the debt. But taxpayers(me) want some money back now.
Assuming 161 million taxpayers ..a savings of 300 billion is about 1800 bucks per taxpayer...pay off the debt with 150 billion(150 billion) and divide the other 150 billion among the 161 million taxpayers and each one gets 900 bucks People paying no tax at all, get no refund. Anyone who paid any tax( including withholding) gets 900 buck refund. If a trillion is saved ..refund about 3 thousand....and pay off 500billion on deficit....not bad....
An estimation but IMHO & FWIW.

At this rate, the promised 2 trillion should be found by 2155.

$1.9 billion in contracts terminated, but only $647 million in savings?

How does that reconcile?

Why would U.S. dollars need to support democracy in El Salvador?

My bet is that the money would go to undermine and overthrow the elected president who cleaned up El Salvador, turning it from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to one of the safest.

$1.3 billion already spent with only $647 million that can be cancelled, maybe.

I was just ruminating the other day that DOGE has been very quiet and wondered if it was still active. Looks like it is. Hope they continue throughout this administration!

$2 Trillion savings is possible without interference from Obama district judges.

Obama legacy lives on with lifetime judges. Horrible system.

You could never get this current congress to spend money wisely. Never.

Pay off the debt? That's hardly even a service payment on the debt.

......a $35M USAID contract to “acquire contractor support to establish and manage a flexible, quick response mechanism supporting activities that will support democracy and stability in El Salvador”.........


This one’s a real corker.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Corporation????!!

I'm surprised that the Marxists didn't use Ministry instead of Corporation.

I remember very well that the non-commercial PBS had more and more commercials at the beginning of each hour. Something close to "This program is brought to you with the generous support of............." The first few supporters were always foundations. Eventually, some of the" generous" supporters were Pepsi, Nike, etc. They basically put all of the non-commercial commercials at the beginning of the show.
