DOGE releases updated "wall of receipts" with more discrepancies
CBSN
For the second time in two weeks, DOGE's "receipts" don't match its claims.
On Monday, the Department of Government Efficiency released another round of so-called "receipts" — or canceled contracts to show its cost cutting — and posted them on its "wall of receipts." As was the case with the first round, this set, too, contained inaccuracies.
Despite doubling the number of listed contracts, the updated itemized savings now total $9.6 billion, a sharp drop from the original $16.6 billion in savings DOGE itemized last week. At the same time, DOGE is now claiming total savings of $65 billion — far higher than the amount itemized, and an increase from its earlier claim of $55 billion, much of which has previously been called into question.
