Summary

DOGE has claimed billions in savings by canceling contracts, but many were blanket purchase agreements (BPAs), which set negotiated rates for potential future purchases rather than actual spending.

Canceling BPAs does not save money and may hinder efficiency, as agencies must redo procurement work.

DOGE’s claims face growing scrutiny, with reports showing 40% of cuts yield no savings.

Meanwhile, lawsuits question the agency’s legality, and confusion remains over its leadership, with Trump insisting Elon Musk is in charge.

    They set out to prove the incompetence of government by getting into the government and then being incompetent. Its all going swimmingly if injustice is your little horny thing.

    It’s clear they’re not interested in efficiency. They’re just out to cause damage and undermine the USA’s public institutions. It’s a mixture of hatred, greed, idiotic libertarian ideology, and a preference for Russia over the USA.

    Shocking literally no one, cancelling a credit card with a 10,000 dollar limit that has only had 2,000 spent on it isn’t actually 8,000 in savings.

    Aren’t DOGE supposed to cut everyone a $5,000 check after getting rid of Woke from the federal government? Highly doubtful they ‘saved’ enough money to actually do that
