Murky #DOGE claims of saving taxpayer billions proving disingenuous at best...one #ICE contract amounted to $8 million in "savings" after cancellation but was misquoted by #MelonHusk operatives as $8 #Billion ...

#CNN picked apart DOGE’s claim to have saved $1.9 billion from #USAID contracts but actual #government cost of deal was only $55 million over several years.

The dogged DOGE team claim to have saved #taxpayers $232 million by canceling an IT service contract at #SocialSecurity but the vengeful Dept of Gov #Efficiency document raiders were only off by about $231 million and the #modernization of dept computers will still need to be done after killing deal. So who will take the job now...could it be perniciously present US govt contractor #Elon?

Another announcement touted elimination of a non-binary choice option removed from forms between the male and female sexes, something govt had already spent approx half million to implement. Does eliminating a #Trans option mean a cost #savings if you already created the option and then dump it?
