To the OP: DOGE is making crap up because they don't understand how the system works... and they are pull crap out of their asses.
What they are looking for are quick wins. They will find some. However, 99% of the crap that's been posted so far is absolutely nonsense... because they're lying to may themselves look good / cover their asses. They are just as bad as everyone else.
What the jackasses need to be doing is keeping their yaps shut until they've had time to really look at the data and the CONTEXT in which it applies.
I've been hearing stories of them showing up, making assertions / accusations, and then getting their asses handed to them because they don't know basic accounting.
