They saved how much?

The DOGE idiot is claiming $115 billion in saves! Amazing isn't it?

But there is simply no way that's true. Sure, trimming some costs here and there will help. And closing a few buildings can't hurt. 

But one of the biggest expenses that was saved on was labor. But let's do a little back of the envelope math. 

Let's say the average laid off worker (who may or may not be actually laid off) makes $100k a year. And let's suppose that 10,000 people were laid off. 

That's $1 billion in cost reductions (on paper anyway) for a year. 

Is he claiming it's more? Like a million federal workers? Huh? That would be half of all federal employees. 

It ain't adding up. 

And just for context, that $1b in savings amounts to just three F22 fighter jets or half of one B2 bomber. 

Maybe if you're looking for savings, you could find a similar amount in the military budget. Just saying.
