Elon Musk’s DOGE promised to slash $2 trillion in federal spending and to make the federal workforce lean and efficient. But even the cost savings it has claimed in an online “Wall of Receipts” of the smaller amount of $110 billion didn’t check out, according to a report the Government Accountability Office published Thursday.
埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的 DOGE 承诺削减 2 万亿美元的联邦支出,并使联邦劳动力精简高效。但根据政府问责办公室周四发布的一份报告,即使是在网上“收据墙”中声称的 1100 亿美元的成本节省也没有得到证实。
The GAO evaluated $110 billion of savings DOGE claimed on a website with its “Wall of Receipts” from cuts including federal contracts, grants and leases. The GAO said it found multiple “issues limiting the transparency and reliability of these reported savings.” Including additional categories beyond contracts, grants, and leases, DOGE tallied $215 billion in cuts, the GAO said.
美国政府问责局评估了 DOGE 在网站上声称的 1100 亿美元的节省,并通过其“收据墙”削减了联邦合同、拨款和租赁等费用。美国政府问责局表示,它发现了多个“限制这些报告的节省的透明度和可靠性的问题”。 GAO 表示,包括合同、赠款和租赁之外的其他类别,DOGE 总计削减了 2150 亿美元。
The findings further undercut claims by Musk and President Donald Trump that they have made meaningful cuts in government spending and call into question the effects of the DOGE effort that slashed federal spending with little notice to agencies and slashed hundreds of thousands of government jobs.
这些调查结果进一步削弱了马斯克和唐纳德·特朗普总统关于他们已大幅削减政府支出的说法,并让人质疑 DOGE 在几乎没有通知各机构的情况下削减联邦支出并削减数十万政府工作岗位的效果。
The GAO found that of the 13,476 contracts DOGE claimed it terminated, “no termination action” was taken on 2,503 of them. The report also noted DOGE had claimed $113 million in savings from cuts to 264 leases, but GAO found that information overstated the savings. The leases cut and referenced on DOGE’s website “actually summed to $53.5 million” in savings, the report found. Of the 264 leases, about 108 were already in the termination process before DOGE was formed after Trump began his second term as president, the GAO report also said.
GAO 发现,在 DOGE 声称终止的 13,476 份合同中,其中 2,503 份“没有采取终止行动”。该报告还指出,DOGE 声称通过削减 264 份租赁合同节省了 1.13 亿美元,但 GAO 发现该信息夸大了节省的金额。报告发现,DOGE 网站上提到的租赁削减“实际上节省了 5350 万美元”。 GAO 的报告还称,在特朗普开始第二个总统任期后,在 DOGE 成立之前,这 264 份租约中约有 108 份已经进入终止程序。
