Summary
DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.
However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.
Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.
The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.
What’s the difference between 8 billion dollars and 8 million dollars?
Approximately 8 billion dollars.
7.992 billion to be exact
That’s how they’re snookering people, because most don’t understand the size of these numbers. So its sounds like a lot even when they save a billion here and there but when we’re talking federal budget even that is basically nothing.
If you have 1 million seconds to live that about 11 days. If you have 1 billion seconds to live it’s about 33 years
