    Elon Musk revealed at a Cabinet meeting Thursday just how much
    cash DOGE is expected to save U.S. taxpayers as the group cuts
    down government waste.

    Sitting in the West Wing's Cabinet Room before all the
    president's deputies, the Tesla CEO announced that DOGE
    will save $150 billion in FY2026.

    'Thanks to your fantastic leadership, this amazing Cabinet
    and the very talented DOGE team, I'm excited to announce
    that we anticipate savings in FY 26 from reduction of waste
    and fraud by $150 billion,' Musk proclaimed at the meeting.

    . . .

    Probably true - maybe even more.

    DOGE keeps finding MORE AND MORE bullshit
    expenses and idiot programs and corrupt
    schemes ........

    It will continue to find more whether Musk
    is there or not. Seemingly endless BS in
    Big Gov.

    WE stopped watching Gov... "It'll all be fine".

    Well, ISN'T.

    Almost half of those line-item savings could
    be attributed to a single $8 billion contract
    for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
    agency. But the DOGE list vastly overstated
    the actual value of that contract. A closer
    scrutiny of a federal database shows that a
    recent version of the contract was for
    $8 million, not $8 billion.
