Says the guy who, only when laughed at and called out, admits he has never believed what Doge cites and the only reason he posts is for clear satire, saying no one would believe any of it to be serious.
The DOGE Postmortem
Donald Trump's famed government-cutting agency, once headed by Elon Musk, is effectively no more. What did it accomplish, and where do things go from here?patriotpost.us
“DOGE ‘doesn’t exist’ with eight months left on its charter,” blared the Reuters headline. The Leftmedia outfit had grabbed two words from Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor’s comments to make a splashy headline for a nuanced story about President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.
DOGE might be gone, but it’ll live on in our hearts forever. I’m paraphrasing with a smirk, but Kupor did say “the principles of DOGE remain alive and well.” DOGE’s work over the last 10 months will be shifted to other areas of government, he said, now that it’s no longer a “centralized entity.”
As White House spokeswoman Liz Huston added in a statement, “President Trump was given a clear mandate to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government, and he continues to actively deliver on that commitment.”
Reuters complained, “DOGE claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.”
That’s not true. DOGE posts its savings on its website, showing pages and pages of receipts. It claims to have saved an estimated $214 billion through a “combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.” Reuters might not like the way the receipts are presented, but that doesn’t mean DOGE was opaque or that it’s “impossible” to divine the mysteries of its wizardry.
Nevertheless, the Leftmedia experts are unconvinced. Newsweek quotes Jonathan Gruber, a professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: “Unfortunately, the numbers coming out of this effort have proved to be completely unreliable. So I have no reason to believe this [$214 billion] estimate.”
If the name Jonathan Gruber sounds familiar, it’s because he was a key architect of ObamaCare, a massive government entitlement program with intentionally grossly misrepresented costs. In fact, Gruber is the guy who infamously said that ObamaCare’s details should be hidden because of “the stupidity of the American voter.”

And then a short while later is busted defending it as if serious and not satire.
