REVEALED: The eye-popping total estimated taxpayer savings after one month of DOGE

I like it! The more we keep home, the more we can spend on Americans.

We won't see anything if they don't pass the budget in a couple of weeks and let the government
shutdown.

Until DOGE is willing to address the elephant in the room, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, the nation will not save money in any meaningful way.


Our national annual deficit is over 1.8 trillion dollars. That's what we increase in debt, every single year. Not even the total debt, just what we generate in 1 year.

Elon Musk is claiming (but has yet to verify) savings of 65 billion. But even in a best case scenario of 65 billion, that would only be, at best, 3-4% of the annual deficit in reduction. And that's a quite optimistic and ideal estimate. The actual receipts currently only depict 9 billion in savings, and the grants and loans being cut aren't even detailed in terms of why they've been identified as wasteful.

Even the wholesale dismantling of USAID would only amount to roughly 1% savings of the annual deficit. Whereas, social security, Medicaid and Medicare, and DoD make up something like 3/4s of our spending. With interest making up most of the remaining quarter.

And so, if the administration and doge actually intend to address the deficit, that's where there has to be reform and cuts. Until then, it's all just for show.

Elon Musk's DOGE revealed Tuesday that President Donald Trump has saved taxpayers a staggering $55 billion in less than a month.


It said the savings were found through a combination of detecting and deleting fraud, canceling contracts and leases, and selling assets.

The group - nicknamed the 'nerd army' - also ended grants, fired federal employees, changed some programs, and saved money with regulatory reforms.

What DOGE says doesn't make it fact.

Not always right. True, but what spending do you like that's been cut so far?

Not sure. They haven't really been forthright with what exactly has been cut. I'm interested how much cutting they do in the military.

So you want military spending cuts?

Waste, yes. There are weapons that the Pentagon said were not needed but Congress still pushed them through. Billions spent needlessly.

I agree 100%. I saw it in the '80s when I was in the Army and throughout my career as a government contractor.
