DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week
The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.
Last week, Elon Musk’s government cost-slashing initiative, dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency, posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.
Now the organization, which is also known as the U.S. DOGE Service, has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.

w2 reported with-holding for SS #s actually exceed that going out to the same 'too elderly' age bracket.
so SS#s are being used in error, and\or re-used by unethical employers\employees to fill jobs
(people paying SS tax into fake numbers of others will not be getting that money back!)
i had to hear this from a BBC podcast on stats, not from an american media outlet.

Common among illegal, and yes, they don't get the money back.
