Why is America trying to get rid of USAID? It's simple...

It's because USAID was investigating Starlink and its ties to Putin.

That is all.

The difference between turning to terrorism and not being dependant on terrorist to live is often just as simple as food for a family. If a family is in poverty..........like in Gaza now or in Africa and no food is available.....or medical help for a sick child......other than from a terrorist organization.........a father will turn to terrorists for food and help. Once he does...........terrorist owes him. Literally hunger recruits terrorists in many countries. Of course this line of thinking is faaaar past what a 70 IQ and a high school education with all D's can comprehend...........but it is literally the main reason the U.S. offers food and medical aid to many countries overseas.

All MAGA sees is "they aren't white so screw 'em...don't give them a dime of my tax money"..........but that mentality of hatred and bigotry...of those so-called " MAGA christians"...... can't see past hate and racism and shows a complete lack of thought.
The U.S. Government and its politicians have a history of squandering money known as “ pork”.
Dick Morris put out a book some years ago listing some of the things that taxpayer dollars were funding. The list was increible.

What actually does US AID dole out money to?
Yes there is a mission statement as to the overall purpose of the U.S. AID but we need to see a line item list of where the $$$ is going to and supporting.

Just one of many reasons. The maga crowd only thinks about money. They refuse to think about if it's doing anything useful.

The middle east situation is another reason to close USAID down. The magas don't want anything to interfere there either. Nor with China.

Block off all foreign aid. Therefore they can become isolationist and not spend any money and become a second world power.

The situation in the middle east will explode in their faces though without giving any aid. The middle east isn't just the tiny 25 by 7.5 mile long Gaza strip, that they only want to focus on.

So their answer is to cut off aid, to every country in the world and become isolationists. While focusing on an impossible fantasy, the Gaza strip, about the same size of the city of San Diego in land size. That is riddled with bombs and tunnels. And without San Diego's water I might add.

That makes sense to the maga crowd!

Not only that, but if we get rid of USA I.D then it gives China and Russia.Room to step in and fill the void and take our place on the world stage.There is definitely an agenda here

@BizSuitStacy I don't live in Ukraine.
@Arboven congratulations
No, no, no...didn't you hear Senator Patty Murray? She told us Elon has strong ties to China, not Russia. Get your Boogeyman narrative straight 🤣
@Arboven I'm sure the Azov battalion and other fascists in Ukraine were just pretending with all the insignias and such.

@BizSuitStacy I never said there weren't Nazis in Ukraine. I said that Russia aren't fighting them; they simply used them as an excuse to invade. That's my point.
@Arboven LOL. Yeah... I'm sure they were pretending to slaughter eastern Ukrainians who live on the Russian border, too. 🙄
Half a million tons of food is going to waste because of the usaid shutdown.

@robingoodfellow the current organization if rife with fraud and corruption. It is being reorganized under the State Dept
@Patriot96 No evidence for rife fraud and corruption, except on far-right conspiracy websites.

As I said before, the USSR/Russia has ultimately and posthumously won the cold war

i saw it was funding some sketchy anti-American stuff
@Penny you are overestimating their power. But if you're that worried, it's best to go offline completely, because there's a lot of images on Facebook and SW too.

@NerdyPotato i pmed you
@Penny In another act of dubious cost savings, the tRump admin has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to shut down and stop work. This bureau gets about 45,000 calls per month from consumers who are the targets of predatory loans, unpaid interest, and other financial misdeeds by large organizations.

The CFPB says that it has obtained nearly $20 billion in financial relief for U.S. consumers since its founding in the form of canceled debts, compensation, and reduced loans. Last month, the bureau sued Capital One for allegedly misleading consumers about its offerings for high-interest savings accounts — and “cheating” customers out of more than $2 billion in lost interest payments as a result, the bureau said.

@Penny This bureau policed the big financial firms and protected the average American. Be honest now, who wins and who loses when it gets shut down??

Looks like they needed investigating themselves. If Starlink is tied to Putin, I think that's awesome.
