The so-called Department of Government Efficiency effort has failed to deliver on its outsized promises to cut costs and increase efficiency, NPR's latest analysis of federal data finds.
The White House declined to answer NPR's questions about rehiring workers, increasing federal spending and DOGE data errors.
The federal government is spending more, even with DOGETrump and other DOGE backers say the effort is needed to cut federal spending and decrease the deficit.
The overwhelming majority of federal spending — about 64% — is on Social Security, Medicare, health programs, income security and veterans' benefits and services.
