>Of the alleged $21.7 billion in waste generated by DOGE, the report says the bulk of that — $14.8 billion — went toward the “Deferred Resignation Program” that is “paying approximately 200,000 employees not to work for up to eight months.” It says another $6.1 billion of that waste was designated “for over 100,000 employees” who have been fired or are in the process of being fired, “many of whom were paid to not do their jobs for weeks or months.” It's sad how often folks who take things to an extreme without any thought about it become exactly what they complain about.
