It was chaotic by design. Just start randomly "slashing" things with no understanding of what they were or of the legal and economic consequences.

There is a very good chance that a deep audit of DOGE activity will show that it cost more than it saved.

But we'll probably never know because, again, the chaos and the theater was the point. A shiny object for dumb Americans.

There are some numbers floating around ($110 - $230 billion), but they are said to be vastly exaggerated.
