DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its ProgressElon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.
He previously said his powerful budget-cutting team could reduce the next fiscal year’s federal budget by $1 trillion, and do it by Sept. 30, the end of the current fiscal year. Instead, in a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Mr. Musk said that he anticipated the group would save about $150 billion, 85 percent less than its objective.
Even that figure may be too high, according to a New York Times analysis of DOGE’s claims.
That’s because, when Mr. Musk’s group tallies up its savings so far, it inflates its progress by including billion-dollar errors, by counting spending that will not happen in the next fiscal year — and by making guesses about spending that might not happen at all.
Fundamental Supply Side Assumptions..
Looks like Grifty, with FOX's and the NYPost's eager assistance, pulled another Big Con on the Stupidest People Alive.
G'ddammn are they **** stupid..
How **** Tiny *** dumb would anyone have to be to rely on that ****?
Seriously..
There are pissholes in snow with higher IQs...
