“DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars… Not billion. Half a trillion, $500 billion… In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.” @joshtpm.bsky.social
![Talking Points Memo: IRS Predicts DOGE [and Elon Musk] Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA
By Josh Marshall, March 23 2025
The Washington Post reports today that the IRS’ internal projections estimate that the DOGE-driven disruptions to the IRS since the inauguration are on track to have reduced tax receipts by more than $500 billion by April 15th. This, to be clear, is not a final tally. It’s not April 15th yet. It’s a projection based on historical data, the number of people who’ve filed, paid owed amounts of tax, etc.
It’s worth taking a moment to put this number into some context in case half a trillion dollars doesn’t do it for you. Non-defense discretionary spending is the cost to fund the U.S. government once you take out mandatory spending (mostly Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) and the cost of the U.S. military.
For 2023 that number was $917 billion. So that’s most of the stuff we think of as the government, apart from those payment programs and the military. In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:um3dlpu4s64lwq4lmqyo3dni/bafkreigjof3im6tjcrrja5cwq5t636d5bm7i2vnz5b2ugzxmb5ioz5arii@jpeg)

The right to vote is the fundamental right from which all our rights flow. I listened closely to the concerns that non-partisan NH election officials raised about the SAVE Act. That’s why I voted against it.
If enacted, it would disenfranchise eligible voters and put election workers at risk.
