DOGE was such a great idea that even California’s moonbat governor Gavin Newsom is trying to imitate it. As usual, Newsom is failing.

The New York Post reports:

Newsom — who signed an executive order to cut spending in the state, à la Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is hitting roadblocks with the plan amid a multibillion-dollar state budget deficit.

The erstwhile Golden State handed Boston Consulting Group as much as $20 million to help it trim $2 billion in spending — a seemingly easy task amid the blizzard of waste that characterizes California under Democrat rule.

But the group — which hired former Newsom cabinet Secretary and Department of Finance Director Ana J. Matosantos — is now expected to only find $810 million in savings, according to legislative analysts.

That number may even go down later in May, analysts added, as indicated by the Newsom administration.

Regarding cuts that actually get made, expect the savings to go down to zero — or rather, to negative $20 million, after the firm has been paid.
