Title: How many "mistakes" can DOGE make before...
Post by KangAnon on Feb 24th, 2025 at 10:24am
How many "mistakes" can DOGE keep making before they stop being mistakes?

• Lists the same contract more than once—for instance, a contract was counted three times, which inflated the overall total.

• Mistakenly reported amounts by mixing up units—most notably, an $8‑million contract with ICE was erroneously recorded as worth $8 billion, drastically overstating that line item.

• Credits savings for contracts that were already fully awarded (and even fully paid), meaning no actual recuperation of funds can be claimed.

• Sometimes includes contracts that were either partially or previously canceled, thereby “double counting” savings that don’t really exist.

What is the purpose of this performative "transparency" when, in reality, it amounts to little more than a glorified "Trust me, bro"? If the numbers don’t add up, if the claims fall apart under even the slightest scrutiny, then what exactly is being made "transparent", other than their sheer ineptitude?

How many times can they botch the figures, duplicate listings, misrepresent savings, and confuse billions with millions before we stop attributing it to mere incompetence? At some point, the question shifts from are they just bad at this? to are they doing it on purpose? Because if these blunders are truly accidental, then the level of failure is staggering.

If not, well, that’s an entirely different conversation, and a far more damning one.

Or do we not case because they're on team MAGA?

Surely at this point, it's clear they've not got the job by merit, is it time to cut them?

Home many DOGE threads do we need, must we have?

Now there's an opportunity to cut waste and nonsense.

Not surprising. Trump still thinks the US has provided Ukraine with equipment and aid totalling $350bn when the actual number is $119bn - not even close. How can he hope to properly keep track if he can't even get that number right? The answer is he can't because he's an incompetent, lying fool.

Today’s contract update:

95 cancellations with savings of  ~$115M (ceiling value of ~$235M), including two USDA contracts:
- $265k for a “food and nutrition service 3 day leadership retreat in Atlanta”
- $30K for “Malaysia study tour facilitation services”

Say goodbye to the majority of your off-topic and unattributed copy/pasts from the Babylonbee if you want to cut waste and nonsense.

There wouldn't be much left of you would there?

Also, your side-step of the issue raised is yet another white-flag.

Feel like using some slurs on me?

Actually, that's exactly what Trump & Musk do.

Both of those were cancelled after their completion dates.

So, $0 savings?

The 2 examples you gave prove my point?

Lots of people are sharing that, but do they or you, even know what this grant is about?

You could have looked it up yourself, lazy sod, instead of spending your time sniping and weeping and blustering pointlessly. But here you are :

I've already done that, I'm asking if you know, because clearly you didn't otherwise you wouldn't have had to look it up.  So you're hating it based on the name alone.

Good job.
