Another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI"
If the goal of DOGE was really to reduce "waste, fraud and abuse", wouldn't a human be checking for false positives? If anything, mistakenly cancelling a grant sounds like waste or abuse.
It wasn't. DOGE was never anything but another grift designed to benefit administration insiders, with maybe - at best - a thin veneer of "reducing waste" to satiate the appetite of the gullible people backing all of this in the first place.
There's an old joke about a billion here and a billion there, but this is 0.00035 billion.
DOGE asserted it would save $2 trillion. Their own web site claims about 10% of that, and that number is likely exaggerated by as much as an order of magnitude.
Nor is it a work in progress. DOGE has already disbanded.
It was clearly about harassing ideological opponents, and they couldn't even get that right.
Meantime, the US federal budget outlays have gone up by $400 billion from $7 trillion in 2025 to $7.4 trillion in 2026.
The grant was for $349,000. There's an old joke about a billion here and a billion there, but this is 0.00035 billion. DOGE asserted it would save $2 trillion.

Mind you for an administration that just makes shit up as required it's par for the course.

DOGE asserted it would save $2 trillion. The ketamine must have been particularly active that day. Look at the US budget, then look at the bits you can't touch (Medicare, Social Security, income security, veterans, etc), and try and figure out where you're going to save $2 trillion on what's left. Mind you for an administration that just makes shit up as required it's par for the course.
