DOGE Costs More Money Than It Saved

[Bradley K. Sherman]

|
| Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House,
| the federal government has spent $171 billion more than the
| same period in the previous two years, a NOTUS analysis of
| daily Treasury statements shows.
|
| NOTUS spoke with a range of federal budget experts and
| reviewed thousands of individual cuts and hundreds of
| reversals made during the first 100 days of DOGE. The data
| shows that DOGE has fallen far short of Musk's October
| estimate that it would cut $2 trillion from the budget --
| and may well end up below Musk's amended prediction that it
| would hit $150 billion this fiscal year.

|
| We've watched as DOGE chief Elon Musk's promised pot of
| savings from his "efficiency" operation has shrunk from $2
| trillion to $1 trillion to what he now claims is $150
| billion, or 7.5% the amount initially promised. Now new
| estimates suggest that the way Musk has gone about his
| cost-cutting crusade might cost nearly as much as -- if not
| more -- than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.
