DOGE Claims It Has Saved Billions. See Where.

More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.

Or where not.

Some of these saving are difficult to evaluate. One hundred thousand dollars for subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal, for instance — the newspaper cited above — is an almost invisibly small share of the federal budget but probably enough for the paper to sit up and take notice of. Similar amounts have been going to subscribe to other newspapers. [See details of this and a lot of other stuff here.]

But most of it doesn't seem to be about saving money at all. It seems to be about cutting things that somebody — not naming names here — just doesn't like.
