So even if we take DOGE's 'cost saving' at face value (don't, obviously), that's 160 billion saved, with probably 135 billion in taxpayer costs per this estimate. So, for all the havok, 25 billion, is what DOGE's chaos has caused us. Maybe. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dog...

DOGE says it has saved $160 billion. Those cuts have cost taxpayers $135 billion, one analysis says.
