The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced that the U.S. Postal Service reviewed 8,639 contracts, leading to the cancellation or modification of 1,076 contracts and resulting in $188.5 million in savings.
According to DOGE, among the 1,076 contracts that were either canceled or modified were a $791,000 contract for "Negotiation Skills Training" and a $100,000 contract for "CIO All Hands Meeting - Overflow Hotel Rooms."
An April 2025 Harvard-Harris Poll indicates that 69% of voters support "undertaking a full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government expenditures," compared to 31% who favor slashing $1 trillion in government spending. Additionally, a majority of voters believe the U.S. should work toward balancing its budget, reducing government expenditures, and conducting a comprehensive review of current spending.
