DOGE - accounting errors & outdated data

good enough for government work

 

Trump supporters who lost their jobs through DOGE "improvements" are writing Trump and begging for their jobs back. They are hoping that by demonstrating their fealty to the emperor, they might be able to get their jobs back. Good luck with that. If Trump gives one guy his job back, they will all write him letters non-stop. It will probably take a food safety incident before Trump hires them back, and then we get to listen to "Who knew that food safety could be so complicated?"

A Post By A MAGA Supporter Who Said They Were Laid Off Because Of Trump's Cuts Is Going Mega-Viral

 

Canary in the coal mine. 4 years of lies, inaccuracies, mistakes, and incompetence.

 

thats why they got thrown out and we have new leadership

 

It's weird that it seems relevant to call them out for errors .....

.... when they don't mind plain old constant public lying.


(wondering if they're still eating the dogs in Springfield, Ohio? )

 

The former administration was thrown because food prices were too high. If the rate of inflation averaged less than 3% for the last four years there would still be Democrat in White House and both Houses of Congress would have Democrat majorities.

 

DOGE cost-cutting schemes may save some money in the short-term, but I fear they will cost US much, much more in the long-term...

 

That’s a big if and probably not the only reason

 

No you are.

 

They haven't done a very good job leading so far

 

somehow I think you'd complain no matter what they did

 

DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week

 

The reality is that members of the Cult of the Donald and its high priest co-President Elon are probably unaware that the earlier misrepresentations have been deleted and will continue to believe them as the absolute truth.

 

they fumbled the ball on the border too, and on the whole choice of a terrible candidate. inflation wasn't the only issue but it was a big one. dems failed to get the message out that inflation was worldwide and US led recovery by far, document what they did for drug prices, consumer protection, and what they were doing for inflation along with inflation trend lines

 

That is the private equity rule book. Cut everything, keep the savings, dump the company a few years later which is now worse off and have higher debt. Rinse and repeat.

 

maybe @GatorFanCF can list all the folks who got fired for this poor performance

 

DOGE might be the most incompetent, wasteful, government program yet. In the end, they might just settle on eliminating themselves and saving the government a couple million.

 

no worries, site has been taken down.

if we quit counting, nobody will die

this whole fact checking transparency rules thingy sux


DOGE deletes its 'wall of receipts' after massive errors pointed out

The Department of Government Efficiency has removed its so-called "wall of receipts" detailing its cuts to the federal budget after its purported savings were found to be riddled with errors.

Elon Musk's budget-cutting initiative has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” that had been posted on its website. It followed fact checks from media outlets, although the group still claims it has saved the government $65 billion. The website provided no explanation for the removals or its methodology for determining how much had been slashed from the budget, reported the New York Times.

"The 'wall of receipts' is the only public ledger the organization has produced to document its work," the newspaper reported. "The scale of that ledger’s errors — and the misunderstandings and poor quality control that seemed to underlie them — has raised questions about the effort’s broader work, which has led to mass firings and cutbacks across the federal government."

The last of the top five disappeared early Tuesday morning from DOGE's website, and the Times reported that some of the new canceled contracts added this week appear to contain the same types of errors that plagued the original top five, which included a reported $8 billion cut at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $655 million cut at the U.S. Agency for International Development and $232 million at the Social Security Administration.

 

So…. We are finding out that Elon has lied about everything so far AFTER implying he was doing such a great job we’d all get $5000 rebates? LOL. It couldn’t be going worse for him. He’s the face of government firings and will have to walk back his $5000 statement sooner or later.
