GAO Report Finds DOGE's $110 Billion Savings Claim Unreliable
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report criticizing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for its claims of saving $110 billion in taxpayer money. The report found that DOGE could not verify 96% of its reported savings from canceled grants. Additionally, the report highlighted that DOGE did not use its stated methodology for calculating about half of the savings it reported. The GAO also noted that DOGE failed to terminate some contracts it claimed to have canceled, and $27.4 billion in claimed savings was never executed. Despite these findings, DOGE's 'Wall of Receipts' remains online, claiming a total of $215 billion in savings.
