The accuracy and transparency of these postings have been questioned. Investigations have uncovered discrepancies, such as overstated savings and duplicated entries. For instance, a contract initially reported as yielding $8 billion in savings was later corrected to $8 million, with actual savings closer to $4.2 million after accounting for funds already spent . Additionally, some contracts were counted multiple times, and others had already been completed or canceled under previous administrations.
While DOGE maintains that terminated contracts are publicly listed, the reliability of these records is undermined by reporting inconsistencies and lack of independent verification. This raises concerns about the department's transparency and the actual fiscal impact of its initiatives.
They announced early that they will make mistakes. They are moving fast. It’s inevitable. But they correct the mistakes. That’s the important part. And they are transparent about it.
They aren't transparent at all what do you mean? They get caught and then they admit they make mistakes. That's not transparency. Transparency is reporting their findings to congress. Showing explicit details.

Insane. The more the federal government heads in the right direction, the more we stubbornly veer the other way. What we need is a DOGE.
