Summary
DOGE has claimed billions in savings by canceling contracts, but many were blanket purchase agreements (BPAs), which set negotiated rates for potential future purchases rather than actual spending.
Canceling BPAs does not save money and may hinder efficiency, as agencies must redo procurement work.
DOGE’s claims face growing scrutiny, with reports showing 40% of cuts yield no savings.
Meanwhile, lawsuits question the agency’s legality, and confusion remains over its leadership, with Trump insisting Elon Musk is in charge.
Shocking literally no one, cancelling a credit card with a 10,000 dollar limit that has only had 2,000 spent on it isn’t actually 8,000 in savings.
Well, it might shock you to learn that “genius” Musk does not know this
He’s doing 5D chess whilst us common mortals can only see 3 dimensions.
it is if you went to maga public schools.
Wait, we still have to pay the 2,000? Ugh
Next your going to tell me that writing a check for an insane amount of money and withdrawing as much money as possible before the bank realizes is just check fraud.
You just can’t comprehend their financial genius!
