GAO Finds DOGE’s Savings Claims Largely Unverifiable
A GAO audit found DOGE’s claimed Wall of Receipts savings largely unverifiable, with 96% of reported grant savings unsubstantiated and many contract and lease figures not calculated using DOGE’s own methodology. DOGE had touted about $215 billion in savings, but the review of $110.3 billion revealed methodological gaps and possible overstatements. The report also notes missing ethics/training disclosures for DOGE personnel and urges displaying data quality limitations on the Wall of Receipts.
