How Much Money Is DOGE Saving Taxpayers?
With Kevin R. Kosar | Nat Malkus | Ramesh Ponnuru | Philip Wallach | Rachel Snyderman
AEI, Auditorium
1789 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20036
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) posts weekly reports of cost savings on its “wall of receipts.” These savings have come from federal employee terminations, grant and contract cancellations, and stoppages of agency outlays. But several observers have been skeptical of the savings numbers DOGE claims, and others have called into question whether the department’s actions run afoul of congressional appropriations acts.
Is DOGE actually saving the money it claims it’s saving? How does impoundment factor into this conversation? And what role should Congress play in this process? Join AEI’s Kevin R. Kosar, Nat Malkus, Ramesh Ponnuru, and Philip Wallach, along with the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Rachel Snyderman, for a discussion of DOGE’s efforts to date and an examination of its receipts.
