And they lie about it too.
@cbsnews.com is reporting elon's DOGE spent $135 billion to save $160 billion, netting a less than impressive $25 billion in 'savings'. And we still don't really know what he is saving us from.

DOGEās so-called āsavingsā are smoke and mirrors. Half the receipts donāt exist, math errors are everywhere, and many ācutsā were never real. The numbers donāt add up ā and weāre all paying the price.

The Trump administration cut about $1 billion in aid to anti-hunger groups, according to Feeding America. It's put more pressure on organizations that distribute food to hold up their corner of the U.S. safety net, dipping into reserves and scrounging for donations to replace the food they had lost.
