It is a simple accounting trick: DOGE keeps a one-sided ledger.

Lacking a column for losses, the ledger reports gain after gain to you as your public assets are sold off.

DOGE did this to 18F, and now they are doing it to the rest of GSA. They destroy things of great value to the public, tell the public about the small "savings" that result from that destruction, and do not mention the far larger costs.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
