It's happennig. DOGE is reporting 55 billion in savings. The shallowest math only says 16bn, the the headline saving was listed as billions and should have been millions and there's some reporting that they're already cooking the books there, and even after that the numbers added together are like adding apples to oranges and then claiming the result is pears.
