In all, $110 billion of DOGE's claimed savings could not be verified by GAO auditors.
Similarly, the GAO points out that "several issues limit the transparency and reliability" of savings DOGE claimed to have achieved by terminating federal contracts and leases.
After meeting with Pentagon officials, however, DOGE "agreed no action should be taken to terminate the contract," the GAO report explains.
Yes, Congress did pass a paltry rescission bill that cut $9 billion in federal spending as a direct result of the DOGE effort.
"The data quality issues identified in this report limit the value of the Wall of Receipts to policymakers," concludes the GAO report.
