There's an old joke about a billion here and a billion there, but this is 0.00035 billion.
DOGE asserted it would save $2 trillion. Their own web site claims about 10% of that, and that number is likely exaggerated by as much as an order of magnitude.
Nor is it a work in progress. DOGE has already disbanded.
It was clearly about harassing ideological opponents, and they couldn't even get that right.
Meantime, the US federal budget outlays have gone up by $400 billion from $7 trillion in 2025 to $7.4 trillion in 2026.
