They lie and lie and lie and you keep drinking the Kool aid
And even these numbers are in the same neighborhood as losing weight by amputating a leg.
None of it means anything until there's a 3rd party audit and they will not let that happen.

And those "savings" ignore the disastrous repercussions

The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE's onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk's department.
'The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),' DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump's Address to the Joint Congress.
The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for 'localized community-led development,' according to its now defunct website.
Yeah, fuck that. That's not where our money should go. Deserved to be shut down for sure.

/u/Donald_Musk is completely oblivious to the privileges printing the world's reserve currency has bought to the US, and the obligations the US has in order to maintain the dollar's position.
Where on Earth does the US think it is going to find the money to pay its debts going forward if it isn't printing the money everybody else is using to buy oil?
Musk and Trump are speed-running the US's collapse. They are simply nowhere near intelligent or experienced enough to maintain the US's position of dominance. It is kind of fascinating to watch it play out, kind of horrifying, kind of banal.
Ultimately the American people voted for this. None of the people now destroying the US's global position hid what they were going to do. Chaotic times ahead because if Trump has a plan it appears to be to try and bully his way to global dominance. He couldn't even manage the taliban.
On a personal level I can say that I take almost zero pleasure in seeing the predictions I and many other people dismissed as 'doomers' have made over the past fifteen years (in my case, others longer). I won't be replying to any messages from previous acquaintances that say 'hey you were right'.
Let's see how long it takes for the US to resemble a country like Brazil. The shanty towns are already being formed.
