Despite all the noise and controversy surrounding it, DOGE seems to have achieved surprisingly little when it comes to actual federal spending cuts. The department's impact? Minimal at best.

Sure, there's been plenty of headlines and heated debates. But when you dig into the numbers and look at what's actually changed in terms of government expenditure, the results are underwhelming. All that drama for such a slim effect on the budget.

It's becoming clear that making real dents in federal spending requires more than just bold announcements and high-profile appointments. The gap between rhetoric and tangible outcomes keeps widening.

ngl this is just a typical paper tiger, making a lot of noise but can't actually do much.

To put it simply, the story looks good on paper, but once you pull up the data, the truth comes out. I looked at DOGE's expenditure details early this morning, and the cuts were less than 0.3%, which is negligible compared to the total budget. This kind of liquidity gap... no, that's not right, this kind of budget gap is actually arbitrage space for market pricing. Retail investors are being led by public opinion, but in reality, almost nothing has changed.

Same old trick—just talk, no action.

lol yeah, learned this the hard way watching the gap between what they announce vs what actually gets cut. technically speaking, it's just classic theater at this point... all gas, no brakes on actual spending
