Hi Everyone!
Yes, I'm going to rant a bit. Hang in there with me.
All of us that have a reasonable thought process know that absolutely everything the "thing" does is to destroy America. So much chaos goes on everyday, and that is by design, that we forget what the "thing" did in the past. DOGE is one of those destructive entities that is a lying, cheating, devastating force in the US and the world.
A
new government watchdog report delivers a blistering rebuke of DOGE,
the Elon Musk led cost-cutting initiative, finding it repeatedly
overstated its savings and took credit for cuts it didn't actually make.
The
Government Accountability Office audit, covering June 2025 through this
month, was requested by Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Richard Blumenthal
(D-CT) and represents the most thorough and scathing government
assessment yet of DOGE's public claims, The Washington Post reported. The "thing" and his butt buddie claimed billions of dollars in savings that it could not substantiate, took
credit for work already underway, and refused to show its work, all
while putting Americans' sensitive data at risk and hollowing out
critical agencies," Peters said.
DOGE,
which swept through federal agencies after the "things" second term began,
dismantling USAID and gutting much of the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau. The aim to cut $2 trillion in federal spending. It fell far short even by its own numbers, with its "Wall of Receipts"
website claiming $215 billion in savings. The GAO examined $110 billion
of that figure tied to contracts, grants and leases — and found serious
problems.
Among
the findings: 108 of 264 leases DOGE claimed credit for were already in
the process of being terminated before DOGE existed. Of 13,476
contracts DOGE said it had terminated, nearly 2,000 actually were not,
and of $61 billion in claimed contract savings, more than half nearly
$35 billion, was either not actually terminated or couldn't be verified
because DOGE's data lacked sufficient detail.
Roughly
$27.4 billion in claimed cancellation savings came from contracts that
were never terminated at all, with the GAO noting that other actions,
like reducing a contract's value, may have occurred instead.
The GAO said it repeatedly tried to obtain information from DOGE, submitting written questions, but "the U.S. DOGE Service did not respond to our inquiries."
Fact-checkers
and media outlets have previously found DOGE's self-reported savings
didn't hold up to scrutiny, and updates to its website slowed
dramatically after Musk's departure, with some claimed savings later
quietly removed.
I don't think we will ever know the truth and the damage that DOGE has caused not just to the US but to the world. One of the first things he did was to cut U.S. foreign aid. The resulting loss of life will be devastating. Musk while at CPAC waving a chain saw, high on Ketamine showing just how proudly he cut food and medical aid.
Honestly DOGE was not truly about objective cost-cutting. Instead, its a politically driven campaign that inflated savings, evaded transparency laws, and bypassed congressional authority to hollow out federal agencies that the "thing" doesn't want or he now has full control over.
Is power and wealth so intoxicating that the men and women in the "lost" republican party will do ANYTHING to achieve their corrupt goals?
It seems they will.
