DOGE Claims Credit for Killing Contracts That Were Already Dead

[Crepitus]

They can't find enough so they are making it up, is what I see here.

Basic dishonesty that will be ignored by a certain segment of the political spectrum.

It's a sad time for the former USA.

While George W. Bush was president, the U.S. Coast Guard signed a contract to get administrative help from a company in Northern Virginia. It paid $144,000, and the contract was completed by June 30, 2005.

Twenty years passed. Presidents came and went.


Last week, Elon Musk’s restructuring team, called the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, said it had just canceled the long-dead Coast Guard contract — and in doing so, saved U.S. taxpayers $53.7 million.

That claim, posted on the group’s “wall of receipts,” bewildered experts on federal contracting. And there were others like it. Even after Mr. Musk’s group deleted several large erroneous claims from its website last week, The New York Times found that it had added new mistakes — claiming credit for “canceling” contracts that had actually ended under previous presidents.

“These are not savings,” said Lisa Shea Mundt, whose firm, The Pulse of GovCon, tracks federal spending. “The money’s been spent. Period. Point blank.”

/----/ Hey Dummy, Those programs were still receiving funds long after they expired.
Now go argue with the CBO.
The Congressional Budget Office tracks authorizations of appropriations that have specified expiration dates and identifies, annually, appropriations that are provided for authorizations that have expired. For this report, CBO identified 1,118 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2022 and 111 authorizations that are set to expire before the end of the fiscal year. CBO also found that $461 billion in appropriations for 2022 was associated with 422 expired authorizations of appropriations.

They can't find enough

So you want them to find more? Excellent. We are on the same page.

Democrats support all the waste doge is finding and if Kamala won, there would be even more money for sex changes in Guatemala and gay musicals in Ireland.

This is all being done intentionally as an attack on America. America's enemies run the democrat party and are using them to intentionally collapse America from within.

Once you realize democrats are traitors working with the WEF on a plot to intentionally collapse America and usher in the great reset, suddenly everything they support and do will make sense.

Democrats = traitors

You really should read more than just the first line of an article. It might keep you from looking so foolish.

They haven't really found anything. They have killed some programs they don't like, that's all.

Dept of homeland security is spending $200,000,000 in ads here and around the world, thanking Trump for his immigration policy. Why isn't the Muskrat pointing that waste and abuse propaganda out, or stopping it?

Oh shit! It's true!! And Noem says tRump ordered them to thank him with those ads.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Friday night that these ads were Trump’s idea, and during the administration’s transition to power, the president asked her to star in ads thanking him “for closing the border.”
