“President Trump has been celebrating the published savings, even musing about a proposal to mail checks to all Americans to reimburse them with a ‘DOGE dividend.’”

“But the math that could back up those checks is marred with accounting errors, incorrect assumptions, outdated data and other mistakes.”
