[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8894802, member: 683408"] DOGE is reporting an $8M "savings" as $8 BILLION. That sounds like fraud to me. But among the 1,100-plus contracts purportedly canceled, POLITICO found: [LIST] [*]Contracts that had not yet been awarded [*]Instances where a single pot of money is listed multiple times — tripling or quadrupling the amount of savings claimed [*]Purchase agreements that have no record of being canceled, but were instead stripped of language related to diversity, equity and inclusion [*]Contract savings identified by DOGE that do not match with records they refer to in the Federal Procurement Data System [*]Contracts where the underlying document is for an entirely different contract [/LIST] That sounds like a lot of fraudulent reporting by DOGE, uncovered by Politico. Maybe that's why they hate Politico so much. [/QUOTE]
