Title: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: Jw2 on 03 04, 25, 02:01:03:AM Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has made more inflated savings claims on its digital "wall of receipts."
Tuesday's update to the federal website included inaccurate data, according to an NPR review, even as the group corrected prior errors. A day later, while speaking at President Trump's first Cabinet meeting, Musk spoke about the effort to reshape the federal government. He said anyone who questions DOGE's savings can look at the digital receipts for themselves. "We won't be perfect," he said, "but when we make mistakes, we'll fix it very quickly." The latest inaccurate data identified by NPR remained on the DOGE site, as of Friday morning. but youse MAGAsluts love lies.

Show us witch ones Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: DaBoz on 03 04, 25, 02:12:35:AM we are waiting, is there a problem?
Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: DaBoz on 03 04, 25, 02:18:20:AM I find it amazing that you blame the DOGE cuts for so many things then Post that the cuts are all smoke and mirrors and you can't prove anything about the claims. HMMM!!!
Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: Jw2 on 03 04, 25, 02:19:41:AM DOGE's savings page launched with a topline claim of $55 billion saved, with "receipts" that accounted for about $16.5 billion in contract cancellations.
But an NPR review found the documented savings were grossly overstated, including with an apparent $8 billion typo, the misleading inclusion of procurement methods that act as lines of credit and billions of dollars in contracts that were not actually terminated. By matching DOGE's claims with federal contract data, that NPR analysis found estimated savings of only about $2 billion — a fraction of what the receipts claimed or the higher, unverifiable claim of $55 billion overall. In Tuesday's update, DOGE's new grand total is $65 billion saved. It's unclear how that tally was achieved. The site added almost 1,200 new "receipts" that claim to show another $4 billion in savings. But when NPR matched the claims to federal contracting data, the savings were essentially unchanged from the initial analysis, now about $2.3 billion. Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: Jw2 on 03 04, 25, 02:33:52:AM DOGE deletes past mistakes
Since last week's launch, DOGE deleted more than $2.5 billion from its initial batch of savings claims. This includes an adjustment to a triple-counted U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) project worth up to $655 million, as highlighted by multiple media outlets. Savings from that USAID project are now listed as an estimated $18 million — less than 1% of the nearly $2 billion claimed at the tracker's launch. Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: DaBoz on 03 04, 25, 02:38:24:AM NPR is under investigation for its reporting and getting Questionable payments from USAID and is likely to lose all funding. That would explain why you chose them as a source , BUT there is a line by line list and I asked you for which ONEs you were talking about,,, not that NPR BULLSHIT you posted..

Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: Jw2 on 03 04, 25, 02:19:41:PM DOGE says it's saved $105 billion, though it's backtracked on some of its earlier claims
https://www.yahoo.com/news/doge-website-says-now-saved-014113527.html The website of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency provided its third weekly update of federal government cost-cutting Sunday night, claiming total government savings of $105 billion, up from the $65 billion it claimed in last week's update -- but the figure remains unverifiable as the site still says it's posted only a fraction of the receipts supporting this total. In its latest update to its "Savings" page, DOGE continued to update -- and in some cases delete -- contracts that it had previously listed as having saved up to billions of dollars in federal funds, after media outlets, experts and others publicly questioned details of the contracts. In all, DOGE listed a total of 2,334 canceled contracts on its latest "Wall of Receipts," with the savings from those contracts amounting to $8.8 billion. The amount is actually lower than the $9.6 billion in claimed savings from 2,299 contracts posted on its "Wall of Receipts" last week, reflecting the difficulty in pinpointing exactly what DOGE is cutting and by how much. Similar to last week, DOGE claims in this week's update that the $105 billion figure is based on a "combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions." The site, however, only provides receipts for a fraction of that number. In addition to the $8.8 billion alleged savings in canceled contracts, the new data on the site lists $660 million worth of real estate leases under the GSA that were canceled, and, for the first time, it lists federal government grants that have been terminated, totaling $10.3 billion. Among the contracts that have been deleted from DOGE's latest "Wall of Receipts" is the biggest contract it had listed as having canceled last week: a seven-year blanket purchase agreement from the IRS with $1.9 billion cap for "IT strategy and modernization."

Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: chuck_curtis on 03 04, 25, 02:52:29:PM Johnny thinks DOGE is cutting nothing, but Schumer and others are hysterical, telling us that DOGE is ripping the government apart. LOL Commies don't have a messaging problem. They don't have a message, period. They have plenty of whine, however. At $65b, DOGE has only put a dent in its $2t goal and the commies are already screaming bloody murder.
Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: DaBoz on 03 04, 25, 02:56:20:PM Thats the Hypocrisy Chuck, They Claim DOGE is Doing all this Damage and then say its all Smoke and Mirrorss.
Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: chuck_curtis on 03 04, 25, 03:14:42:PM If only commiecrats would have a full blown meltdown over waste, fraud, abuse, and inefficiency as they do over who and how we found it and how to fix it.
Title: Re: DOGE's savings - Nothing But Smoke and Mirrors BS Post by: dont-blameme on 03 04, 25, 03:29:28:PM Maybe the fix has alwayts been remove the democrats from any and all policy making that involves spending money and eliminate pork at the same time!
