Many DOGE fans in the comments are asking for proof of lies. I promised I would follow up. I'll start with a list of every lie and misleading statement I heard, then follow up with evidence in subsequent posts. Lies: - "nearly one BILLION dollars for a simple survey" - "we save $4B every day 7 days a week" - "we've been careful in the cuts, measure twice if not thrice!" - "everything is published on the DOGE website for maximum transparency" - "when you ask them which line they disagree with, they can't point to any!" - "only 0.15% of federal employees have been fired" - "Stacy Abrams NGO that didn't exist and then suddenly got $2B" - "If we don't do it, America's gonna go bankrupt" Misleading statements: - "an old mine that can only process 8000 retirements per month" - "legitimate recipients will receive more money" - "15 million people over the age of 120 marked as alive in SS database" - "40% of NIH grants go to the institution" - "there is $500B of fraud in government spending every year"
