Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) savings have reached an impressive $160 billion, according to the latest update on the official DOGE website.
DOGE currently has taxpayer savings — which include “asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions” — at an estimated $160 billion. This comes down to about $993.79 of savings per taxpayer.
Over the last week, DOGE has provided updates on taxpayer savings via the cancellation of wasteful contracts, terminating 179 in a two-day time span alone. According to DOGE, the ceiling value of these contracts came to $1.87 billion, resulting in a total savings of $280 million. Those contracts included “a $1.8M US Trade & Development contract for ‘energy and climate advisory services’, a $207k HHS consulting contract for a ‘grant writing workshop’ and an $89k Treasury contract for a ‘country program manager in Namibia.’”
In another contract update posted on Thursday, DOGE announced the cancellation of 401 contracts with a ceiling value of $2.1 billion and savings of $613 million. One of the contracts terminated was a $276,000 contract for what DOGE described as a “Kenya program coordinator.”
Others included a “$228k Treasury contract for ‘Kenya, Uganda, Namibia and Tanzania cruiser vehicles’, a $24k DHS contract for ‘two day training on equal opportunity in employment’, a $15k DHS contract for ‘Out and Equal workplace advocates’, and a $5.9M DoC contract for ‘environmental consulting support services,’” per DOGE.
