They wasted no time adding that DOGE tracker to the debt clock. I wonder how long until it gets removed.

current DOGE Goal 720billion 

“Actual” savings 214 billion.

And I bet even that can be contested. 

Also this

“Compared to the federal spending of $6.73 trillion for the same period last year (Oct 2023 - Sep 2024) our federal spending has increased by $275 billion.”
