I did.
I worked in a shop years ago that had gov't contracts. One was canceled (outdated, then revamped) and not a dime was paid beyond the delivery of the product produced up until that point.
Yeah. and Trump wasn't President for that entire time period.
10% growth in the stock market is the average for the last 100 years. It isn't some great number and it was lower than the market return under Biden's 4 years.
You mean they actually paid you according to the contract for work you had done and didn't just get to claim they saved the money of the ENTIRE contract by not paying you a dime? I wonder how that is any different from cancelling contracts results in payments to the contractor based on the contract.
Are you not able to count up to 18 or are you totally ignorant of when a new President takes office in the USA?

Breaking Down How Much Time Biden Spent on Vacation While President – It's Not 40%
The rumor that Biden spent nearly half of his presidency on vacation came from an exaggerated and incorrect Republican National Committee analysis.

And the recent NASCAR trip cost us a bundle, too. He burnt all that jet fuel to make a showy appearance and left after only 11 laps.
FALSE!
If Brandon spent 20% of his time being presidential, I would be amazed. That man lost most of his function during his first year in office.

So you say.
Was the inflation factor figured into these numbers?
If my costs for food, utilities, and fuel were up 20%+ what have I actually gained?

Rational, intelligent and educated people like the reason for the inflation. Hint: It took place on Trump's first watch.
Wow. Talk about proving you are a complete idiot when it comes to financial matters.
Do you know what the word "annual" means?
The cost of food didn't go up over 80% under Biden.
Annual gains of 10.5% per year means that after 4 years you would have seen a 49% increase in the value of your stocks.
Sorry, I misread your post.

I guess I'll have to pin this up. DOGE has 2.5 years to come up with 2 Trillion in savings (I think that was their goal). This clock tracks their progress.
Maybe I can figure out a way to embed the thing...
That one is the official government one, it isn't real time yet... I look forward to it though. I hope that they'll make it embed capable...
DOGE caught in a controversy, $38.4B of its saved money is missing
"According to its website, DOGE claims to have saved $55 billion in federal spending, but only $16.6 billion of that amount is accounted for, leaving $38.4 billion in question. Further complicating the matter is an error in the data DOGE published, which misrepresented an $8 million contract as $8 billion. The correction reduces the initiative’s detailed savings to just $8.6 billion, far from the reported total...
...The most expensive contract it claims to have canceled was an $8 billion agreement with D&G Support Services, LLC, a firm that was set to provide services for the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights within US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)...
...Per Bloomberg, a search of the Federal Procurement Data System for the contract ID listed on DOGE’s website, 70CMSD22A00000008, shows the original contract filing from September 2022 mentions a total contract of $8 billion.
An update on January 28 revised that figure to $8 million, the same day the department listed the contract as an $8 billion saving. Moreover, two additional filings on January 29 and January 30 confirmed the contract’s partial and then full termination, both reflecting the corrected $8 million value."

Apology accepted. I withdraw the idiot remark.
I'm still an idiot.
Ok. I'll stop arguing with you.

Sorry for the typo and failure to check.
Rational, intelligent and educated people KNOW the reason for the inflation.
