Cost Cutters

DODGE does its duty:

According to the DOGE website, it has, thus far, saved an estimated $180 billion in government spending as of June 3, which comes to $1,118 per taxpayer. The savings are the result of contract and lease cancellations and renegotiations, grant cancellations, deletion of fraud and improper payments, asset sales, and workforce reductions. Agencies that have accounted for the most of the $180 billion savings include the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the Department of Education. Some of the major cost-cutting initiatives include canceling $2.9 billion for the Department of the Interior for a refugee resettlement program, a $1.9 billion tech program at the Treasury, and a $1.7 billion grant program at USAID.
