Summary
DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.
However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.
Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.
The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.
You don’t understand. They’re calling it $8 billion because that’s how much it will take in four years to fix the problem cancelling the contract causes.
DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.
This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.
Confiscate Musk’s wealth and save about $450 billion
Good job guys! $8mil for a complete loss of soft power around the world and undue stress, pain and misery for all those you fired and stopped aid to. Congrats for being total pieces of human skinned garbage!
TIL: Musk can’t do basic maths
Also, this is how he runs his companies
We’d save a lot more than that if that fucker would just stop breathing.
How much could a banana possibly cost, $10?
What, they straight out lied? Who could have imagined such a thing?
Not spending money on the necessities is not saving money.
