Summary
DOGE initially claimed an $8 billion ICE contract reduction, but the actual figure was 1,000 times less at $8 million.
Despite correcting the ICE figure, DOGE did not adjust its overall $55 billion savings estimate, which lacks clear justification.
The ICE error wasn’t the only issue. CBS News found DOGE had triple-counted a $654.99 million savings on a single contract, overstating savings by as much as $1.96 billion.
Critics argue the errors remain unaddressed because “the propaganda of the numbers is important to them.”
Answer: yes, and so is trumps. Does anyone actually listen to what come out of their mouths? They just pull numbers out of their asses. $10, 1 billion, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, probably more, I mean it’s just all made up.
Trump made up a number earlier today saying Zelenskyy’s approval rating is “4%”. The actual number is something like 56% iirc.
Zelenskyy polls higher than Trump. Sadly, not by much, but still.
I mean they are intellectually and morally bankrupt…. Didn’t they want to cut the spending budget by…. More than we actually spend? It’s wild
I tend to listen to what come out off their mouth only because the sound of a fart always make me giggle
