I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.
NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
