Appears DOGE savings goal for the year is being changed from $2 trillion down to $150 billion. While any savings is better than nothing it's a far cry from what anyone was hoping for.
there is a two trillion dollar deficit. The goal was to eliminate a trillion of spending and then grow the economy enough to generate a trillion dollars of additional revenue.
the 150 billion seems a little low for this stage of the game. but I think Elon is about half way through his 130 day gig.
At the same time Elon is the figure head of this effort and trump is talking about keeping a lot of the doge team thats doing all the work in place well after Elon leaves so maybe its just taking longer now that they take the chainsaw away.
Trump says he's presently taking in 2 billion a day from tariff revenue before all the big tariffs with china and others kicks in. thats approximately 750 billion so the revenue number at least appears to be lining up.
