'DOGE lied': Expert floored as blistering report finds Musk team blew billions
The Department of Government Efficiency wasn't so efficient after all. In fact, was extraordinarily wasteful, according to a Thursday report by the U.S. Senate's investigations subcommittee.
When Elon Musk spent the early part of this year ransacking the federal government, the billionaire promised that his mass layoffs of federal employees, his choking off of critical foreign aid, and his gutting of consumer watchdogs all served a greater purpose: saving the government—and by extension, the American people—money by rooting out waste.
Musk is already known to have wildly exaggerated the amount that his initiative was saving the public. Government spending in 2025 has been higher than in previous years despite Musk's dramatic cuts.
The staff report released by the office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.)—the ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI)—only focuses on waste by DOGE that can be quantified in the here and now. It finds that in just six months of operation, DOGE wasted more than $21 billion.
This comes at "the very same time," Blumenthal said, that "the Trump administration is cutting healthcare, nutrition assistance, and emergency services in the name of 'efficiency' and 'savings,'" via the recently passed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which itself is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years.
Blumenthal said his investigation shows that "DOGE was clearly never about efficiency or saving the American taxpayer money."
ukidanjem usaida, hrana i lekovi u vrednosti od 100 miliona$ koje su bile u skladistima su propali.
In order to quickly thin the ranks of government, Musk offered federal employees the opportunity to retire early with their benefits and pay through September 30—a deal that around 200,000 took. The Senate report calculates that the government has spent $14.8 billion to pay these employees not to work for eight months.
Roughly another 100,000 employees were also involuntarily fired from their jobs, and had to receive severance pay that amounts to an additional $6.1 billion.
DOGE's funding freezes also resulted in massive waste: freezes on loans for energy utility projects meant that the government lost out on $263 million worth of interest payments and fees. Meanwhile, $110 million worth of food and medicine was left to spoil in warehouses due to the shuttering of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Да будемо фер, скоро цела та цифра је отишла на отпремнине. Ко гледа са стране, то делује као трошак, што у суштини и јесте, али има своју сврху. Reduction in force (RIF) је често бруталан јер одједном се доста новца изгуби на отпремнине, а број људи се смањи. Међутим, уколико је то смислено урађено, уштеде су огромне већ приликом планирања следећег годишњег буџета. У случају да те исте позиције опет не буду отваране за неки дужи период, уштеда ће бити значајна, што верујем да и аутор текста зна, али политика је политика.

Potpisao novu naredbu
Citat:U.S. President Donald J. Trump today signed an Executive Order which he claims mandates a one-year prison sentence for those who burn the American Flag, in direct violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution and upheld by Texas v Johnson.
Despite claims by President Trump that the order imposes a prison sentence for flag burning, the actual order makes no mention of a prison sentence and only directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to look at cases where people burned flags and see if they can be charged with other crimes like disturbing the peace or breaking environmental laws, in an attempt to circumvent the First Amendment.

Naoruzana vojska na ulicama Amerike u svojstvu policije
Citat:Beginning Sunday, the roughly 2,500 Airmen and Soldiers with the District of Columbia National Guard, as well as several other Republican-led states that have deployed their own respective National Guards to Washington, D.C. as part of President Trump’s D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, will be armed with their service-weapons while patrolling the Nation’s Capital, according to Maj. Michael A. Maxwell, the Spokesman for Joint Task Force - D.C.

Maxwell emphasized that Guardsmen would operate under established rules for the use of force, employing it “only as a last resort and solely in response to an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm.”
