DOGE: Wall of Deceits

[gargamon]

DOGE Secretly Changes Receipts for Almost Half Its Supposed Savings

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is once again reorganizing its wall of hunting trophies from supposedly slain government contracts. This time, it has quietly removed five of its seven largest kills from last week, erasing $4 billion in supposed savings.

The New York Times reported Monday that the night before, DOGE erased or altered 1,000 claimed savings, or roughly 40 percent of entries into its “wall of receipts,” which has previously proven to be exaggerated or fraudulent. That appears to have been the case with the contracts that were removed Sunday.

The removals included the site’s biggest trophy, a canceled contract with Centennial Technologies for technical support for the IRS, which was supposedly worth $1.9 billion. Although DOGE had bragged about the “incredible job” the U.S. Treasury had done in identifying the waste, the Times reported earlier last month that the contract had actually been canceled in November, during the Biden administration. On Sunday, it disappeared from the wall.

Another vanished entry claimed $133 million in savings from canceling a contract between USAID and development firm Chemonics International in Libya, but a LinkedIn post revealed that the contract had ended last year.

In some cases, it seems that DOGE didn’t even earn its biggest hunting trophies. Other entries were removed due to obvious accounting mistakes that appeared to be the product of human error.

One claimed $149 million in savings from a canceled contract to provide administrative support to the Department of Health and Human Services. But DOGE’s website linked to the wrong contract, which didn’t list the correct company, purpose, or value.

Even after the latest round of deletions, errors still persisted on the site. DOGE still claimed that it had saved $106 million by canceling two contracts for administrative support to the U.S. Coast Guard—but in reality, those contracts were completed during the Bush administration.

Yeah... funny how he tries to make the topic like DOGE actually was hiding their mistake and doing something controversial. If a mistake was made then they should own up to it and continue their quest. They are doing something no President has ever done... Checking their accounts and getting rid of wasteful spending. You should be grateful for this if you are American since that waste is your tax money.

Musk and his pals are just bumbling around. Smash. Exaggerate. Preen. And now hide.

The late former Secretary of State Colin Powell famously said:

“You break it, you're going to own it”

That has now morphed into:

We own it. We can break it.

Idiot. The contracts finished in the Bush regime and payment stopped then. Musk and his minions claim it as something they found. Bad DOGE, bad.
