DOGE’s Dubious Numbers: A Deliberate Deception?
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) drastically overstated its cost savings, initially claiming an $8 billion reduction in ICE’s civil rights budget, a figure later corrected to $8 million due to a database error. This error, along with other discrepancies totaling tens of billions of dollars, raises serious questions about the accuracy of DOGE’s reported $55 billion in total savings. The White House has not responded to inquiries about these accounting issues. Critics suggest the inflated figures serve a propagandistic purpose, highlighting a lack of due diligence and potentially misleading the public.
