Where's the 2 Trillion in savings MAGAtards?
A grand total of 35 bil with future loses yet to be accounted for.
TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH...YAAAAAAYYYYY !!!!!!
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, says it has saved through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But that effort may also have come at a cost for taxpayers, with a new estimate from a nonpartisan research and advocacy group estimating that DOGE's actions will cost $135 billion this fiscal year.
The analysis seeks to tally the costs associated with putting tens of thousands of federal employees on paid leave, re-hiring mistakenly fired workers and lost productivity, according to the Partnership for Public Service (PSP), a nonpartisan nonprofit that focuses on the federal workforce.
PSP's estimate is based on the $270 billion in annual compensation costs for the federal workforce, calculating the impact of DOGE's actions, from paid leave to productivity hits. The $135 billion cost to taxpayers doesn't include the expense of defending multiple challenging DOGE's actions, nor the impact of estimated lost tax collections due to staff cuts at the IRS.
