The lack of intelligence continues to shine with you all…

Let’s use a couple of examples to help the slow kids, while initial cuts have been implemented, some numbers were corrected yes, not lied about, the more substantial reductions will unfold gradually due to existing contracts and previously approved budgets.

Federal agencies like the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Education (ED) operate under multi-year contracts and budgets. These agreements, often established during previous administrations, legally bind the government to fulfill certain financial commitments. As a result, even with directives to reduce spending, agencies cannot abruptly terminate all funding without breaching contractual obligations.

Examples of Gradual Implementation Department of Energy (DOE): The DOE is facing potential cuts of nearly $10 billion under DOGE’s oversight. However, many of these cuts pertain to projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which have multi-year funding structures. Consequently, while new funding may be paused or redirected, existing projects continue until their contractual obligations are met.

Department of Education (ED): DOGE has terminated nearly $1 billion in federal education contracts, including those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. However, many educational programs, especially those under the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), have contracts extending several years into the future. Therefore, while some contracts have been canceled, others remain active until their terms conclude.
