Original Note:
Misleading. DOGE says it has $105B in savings. https://archive.ph/N2iLH The “DOGE clock” on the U.S. Debt Clock website is the “real-time savings objective." It does NOT show any actual savings. https://x.com/waltywang/status/1891320128492454028 https://web.archive.org/web/20250207030813/https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2025/01/fact-check-doge-clock-did-not-say-8-billion-plus-dollars-saved-by-january-22-2025-by-cutting-government-spending.html The website's "about" page indicates that usdebtclock.org is "not associated with any Government Agency." https://web.archive.org/web/20250214135305/https://usdebtclock.org/about.html
