CREW analysis: DOGE cuts cost 50,000+ jobs and threaten billions in economic activity
Summary
This article from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) critically examines the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), arguing that its cost-cutting measures are causing severe harm. CREW's analysis of targeted programs found that DOGE's cuts have directly cost over 50,000 people their jobs, could result in over $10 billion in lost U.S. economic activity, and threaten programs that returned over $26 billion to taxpayers. The piece presents DOGE's efficiency claims as an illusion masking destructive impacts on American wellbeing.
