Well, the final numbers are in, and Elon Musk and Doge and Trump lied to the American people

about the Department of Government Efficiency.

They weren't aimed at efficiency or cost-cutting at all.

They didn't save the country $2 trillion.

They didn't come anywhere near that.

In fact, under one study by the Cato Institute, a libertarian and conservative institute, Elon Musk actually wasted about $27 billion.

The only thing he did was to put 10% of the federal workforce on the unemployment lines, but did nothing about spending.

In fact, two separate institutes, both independent, the Brookings Institute and

the Cato Institute, say that the spending is up under the Trump administration, more than 6%

and hundreds of billions of dollars over the Biden administration. Not only do we have a jobless

recovery, we have a more wasteful government spending more money

on things like the Commerce Department, the Homeland Security Department on immigration,

the Department of Justice to defend against Donald Trump's unconstitutional and illegal executive orders.

So spending up over Joe Biden, federal workforce down, jobless recovery and one contributing

factor is the amount of federal workers on the streets and the U.S. brand and reputation

in the trash bin because of cuts to foreign aid

and foreign spending. So did nothing about the major drivers of expenses in America,

which are the entitlement programs, didn't touch the military. In fact, we're throwing more

money into the military. And this is all after Elon Musk

hopped up on whatever he was hopped up on during a rally for Donald Trump during the campaign.

He's going to cut $2 trillion as introduced by the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. The only thing that

went up is Howard Lutnik's budget.
