It's important to remember that even the "$150 Billion" purportedly saved by DOGE is a lie. Much of those "savings" come from DRP takers who are still getting paid through September, contract ceiling values that were never going to be utilized, cancelation of old contracts that were completed but not in closeout, and slasher ng and burning popular and needed programs such as USAID. Oh, and by not paying our bills for services already rendered but that's a "classic Trump" move rather than a DOGE savings.
And Congress, not DOGE, appropriates dollars and for FY25 we're under a full year CR... Meaning agencies are authorized to spend their FY24 appropriated amounts.
Savings = 0 from that standpoint.
Honestly, I'm fine with this. And then when the next Democratic president gets in office, we can start taxing the churches as well. Win win!
