But no part was hit as hard as SBE, which went from an average of 800 new grants to just 91, a precipitous, 90% decline. SBE spent just 95 million on new grants, far less than its average of 247 million.

Such a terrific and awful cluster. DOGE will cost the United States hundreds of billions more when whatever emergency at home or abroad tests the United States and we will have gutted our government capacity to do anything. We are profoundly screwed for the next crisis across a range of areas.
NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”
