Contrary to my last substack I found this information about what DOGE has seen, and their implications for saving money. Note these figures are highly speculative. The rapid changes, rehiring, and court orders to desist regarding the termination of employees and the illegal demands for employees to justify their work place these figures in serious doubt.

Savings
Let's balance the budget! DOGE's total estimated savings are $65 billion, which is a combination of fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings.
We are working to upload all of this data in a digestible and fully transparent manner with clear assumptions, consistent with applicable rules and regulations. To get started, listed below are a subset of contract and lease cancellations; for the former, the contracts listed are those that have been posted publicly on www.fpds.gov. Note that the FPDS posting of the final termination notices can have up to a 1-month lag. There may be discrepencies between FPDS and the posted numbers, the latter of which originate directly from the agency contracting officials. If you would like to report a potential discrepancy, please DM the @DOGE X account.
