Elon Musk's DOGE tally: The federal workforce is down while government spending is up

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — formerly run by Elon Musk — ends 2025 with strikingly divergent results around its two primary goals.

On one front, government payroll numbers are down this year by about 9%, from 3.015 million federal workers in January to 2.744 million in November.

At the same time, government spending hasn't slowed, despite Musk's promises there. A tool from the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project tracks government money headed out the door in real time and shows outlays as of Dec. 19 have risen from $7.135 to 7.558 trillion.

That's a nearly 6% increase.

1. All according to the plan

Less $$ going into the federal workforce’s pockets
More $$ going into the Pisswig’s and his crony billionaire cabal’s pockets

The repug’s wetdream come true : “ The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”

2. DOGE was not about efficiency.

It was crime spree.
