Summary
DOGE initially claimed an $8 billion ICE contract reduction, but the actual figure was 1,000 times less at $8 million.
Despite correcting the ICE figure, DOGE did not adjust its overall $55 billion savings estimate, which lacks clear justification.
The ICE error wasn’t the only issue. CBS News found DOGE had triple-counted a $654.99 million savings on a single contract, overstating savings by as much as $1.96 billion.
Critics argue the errors remain unaddressed because “the propaganda of the numbers is important to them.”
Unfortunately yes, but people do notice but they just brush it off and keep committing fraud. When there’s no real punishment, why bother hiding? I mean posting about it does only so much when the large majority of people are content with the fascist takeover and their brainwashed media spoon-feeding them the shit. Without action, and this is not just protesting action, but real action, we are boned. Truthfully a lot of people just can’t justify the risk to life for true action - be it family, friends or other loved ones that hold them back, and thus the machine keeps on chugging away
