There should be a real time counter as they are moving towards the 2 trillion dollar goal.

They shut down USAID in the last 48 hours. That’s 40 billion not going anywheee- not a bad start.

The counter on the website is related to interest from crypto currencies, not money saved by doge.

We are not saving crap unless congress specifically makes a budget writing these items out. With the CR's we have been getting, they just say we are going to spend what we spent last year plus some added percentage. Nothing trump or doge does is lasting unless congress gets off their fat asses and does some work.

Doge didn't shut it down. It's a very important point to make.

They LED to usaid getting shite down.


Squatch wasnt arguing semantics with you, just pointing out an important distinction thats necessary because Trump is doing this by the book(s).

1) DOGE reveals.

2) Acting Director Of US Aid (Marco Rubio) takes oversight. Merges into State Dept = “Some aid will continue, it will inly be done in-line with interests of the nation and transparently.”

3) Within a day, DOGE is onto the next dept up for Audit.



The legal basis DOGE used to get up and running so quickly requires that they themselves arent exerting that level of control. They used and renamed an already established dept Obamacare created to improve/modernize government tech infrastructure. It can plug into any data system in the government. It cant exert direct control over expenses.

I wish the nat. debt had a thing to tell you how fast the dept is increasing. So that as doge goes up you can see how much of an impact it has had.

The doors are locked. The website is down. All employees are not allowed into the office and they are locked out of their computers. No payments have gone out. It is effectively shut down.

No, it's not. You read that on an AI generated article that conflated the coin with D.O.G.E.

Semantics. They make the referral. Trump can shut stuff down by EO.
