A new report by The New York Times has revealed that while DOGE did fire lots of federal workers, slash budgets, and cancel grants and programs, the end result not only didn't save the $1 trillion Musk promised -- federal spending actually went up.
A lot of the “cuts” were for programs that had already been funded… the money was already spent. Agreements and contracts were cancelled. Some of those surely had penalties involved. Some were for things they actually needed, and so they’ve had to renegotiate again with worse terms because the government just proved it can’t be trusted.
No, for the most part, those agencies are prohibited from paying overtime. A lot of what was supposed to happen was jobs being replaced by AI. That doesn’t mean the AI works or is effective. It just means it replaced.
