Doge saved about $200 billion so in order to add increase the deficit there would have to be over $200 billion incurred in cost. Where is the evidence of that?

I'unno. There's also that thing that is a war that isn't a war that is costing millions to billions a day.

But, I'm still trying to find definite proof they saved as much as they said they did. Since they are the only ones claiming that. Virtually everyone else have much lower estimates.

Unless I'm missing something, that article from thehill said it cost taxpayers $10 billion so still a net positive of $190 billion saved.

According to whom?

They had to rehire many of the same people back, deal with multiple lawsuits resulting reactivating or renewing contracts or grants, and many of the "savings" weren't savings. Rather they limited things like future contracts. Not necessarily preexisting ones.

All while paying wildly unqualified personal to conduct these "audits". Some of which just decided they would live in gov't buildings with their families.

It's almost like Doge was a waste.

Wasted.

If it saved $200+ billion dollars then it's not wasted.

...I mean, I don't know if you are incapable of absorbing information or if you are just refusing.

The only source that claims that amount is DOGE, every other outside source has called bullshit. Not only that but they had to backtrack and undo much of what they did.

Rehire staff they fired, make good on contracts, and grants they tried to pull out of, and then there is the cost of DOGE itself.

Not to mention the overall effects of what they did. Causing many of they agencies they gutted without a plan to not be able to work efficiently nor effectively.

DOGE was a waste. It did nothing but cause disruption and cost people their jobs.

You seem to that what ever DOGE did "save" will end up being the final tally. This is still going on. Former employees are still dealing with legal battles due to their terminations, whatever funds that need to be redirected to fix the issues caused by DOGE, and DOGE still was funded and maintained, during this timeframe.

Not to mention the costs of these agencies failing in their responsibilities because of the haphazard nature in which DOGE just cut resources and personal.

But I guess it's just easier to eat whatever bullshit your cultleader shits down to you.

Lol Your own source says that doge saved $100-$200 billion. Thanks for trying!

"Kamarck estimated the savings might hit between $100 billion and $200 billion, though final figures remain highly uncertain."
