Just 1 more example-Even after changes errors. As of Mon morning, list still included claims that DOGE achieved $106 million in savings by canceling 2 contracts at Coast Guard for admin help. Wrong. Fed procurement data shows that these were actually completed in 2005&2006, when GW. Bush president.

And the huge errors go on, reflect total lack of validation, verification/understanding the fed gov't. $1.9 billion savings DOGE said had achieved by canceling an IRS contract for tech help. The New York Times reported the contract was actually canceled in Nov, while J. Biden Jr. was president.

elon musk’s DOGE has deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” erasing $4 billion in additional savings that the group said it had made for U.S. taxpayers. The deleted items included five of the seven largest savings that it had claimed credit for just last week.
