Why Is It Small, (minded) Men like Trump and Musk, are always trying to PAD something? Their "intellect" their "worth" their shoes... etc etc... and of course, etc.?? Seems the muskrat keeps getting caught trying to PAD the figures on all that money he and his goons have supposedly saved America while (no doubt) spending at least as much in the process (when not shoving it into their own pockets, that is). You'd think Elmo would tire of having shit blow up in his face. DOGE's savings page fixed old mistakes — and added new ones - NPR 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.
