This week, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, continues to dominate headlines as it claims to have saved nearly 215 billion dollars in federal spending by November 2025. According to Coinpaper, DOGE’s approach centers on canceling contracts, terminating leases, and reducing the federal workforce. However, analysts warn that much of the reported savings may not be real or verifiable. Roughly 40 percent of the contracts canceled by DOGE were already fully paid out, meaning no actual savings were realized. Some savings figures have been dramatically overstated, with one deal initially valued at 8 billion dollars later corrected to just 8 million. Critics argue that DOGE’s accounting method inflates the numbers by using the maximum potential value of canceled contracts, rather than the actual amounts spent.The Washington Post reports that DOGE’s actions have led to the loss of tens of thousands of federal jobs, with over 128,000 workers laid off or targeted for layoffs as of July 2025. The department has also terminated leases for underutilized federal properties, but researchers estimate that lease cancellations in Washington, D.C. alone have caused office property value losses of 575 million dollars, far outweighing the reported savings.DOGE’s influence extends beyond federal agencies. The group has reached out to independent organizations like the Vera Institute of Justice and the National Gallery of Art, seeking to place DOGE teams inside and review their operations. These moves have sparked controversy and legal challenges, with critics warning of a constitutional crisis and likening DOGE’s actions to a coup.Despite the administration’s claims of efficiency, the true cost of DOGE’s reforms remains hotly debated. Many experts suggest that while some savings are real, the broader impact on public services and the economy is still unclear.Thank you for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe for more updates.
