Almost
a month into the Trump Administration, the Department of Government Efficiency
has announced substantial savings in government spending.
DOGE,
which is overseen by tech mogul Elon Musk, announced savings of $55 billion.
The savings comes from a combination of fraud detection/deletion,
contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant
cancellations, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory
savings, DOGE said on its website.
"We are working to upload all of this data in a digestible and fully
transparent manner with clear assumptions, consistent with applicable rules and
regulations," DOGE said.
The
top 10 agencies based on savings from contracts and lease cancellations are:
1.
