@Northwest "Questionable spending in USAID's $40 billion budget, including ‘Sesame Street’ in Iraq
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, the Senate DOGE Caucus Chairwoman, who says she speaks to Musk about spending cuts every few days, recently published a list of projects and programs she says the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has helped fund across the years.
Ernst described "wasteful and dangerous" spending that had gripped taxpayers until DOGE stepped in.
Ernst highlighted that the agency "authorized a whopping $20 million to create a ‘Sesame Street’ in Iraq."
Under the Biden administration, USAID awarded $20 million to a nonprofit called Sesame Workshop to produce a show called "Ahlan Simsim Iraq" in an effort to "promote inclusion, mutual respect and understanding across ethnic, religious and sectarian groups."
Several more examples of questionable spending have been uncovered at USAID, including more than $900,000 to a "Gaza-based terror charity" called Bayader Association for Environment and Development and a $1.5 million program slated to "advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities."

@Northwest If just HALF of what you keep posting were true, we would all be cheering for USAID. It has been thoroughly corrupted, and lacked oversight for over 20 years. Requests for money were NEVER examined. If the proper form was filled out, the money was sent...regardless of where it went.

Funny, all I posted was a link to the government's own link. Period.

I could, of course, post about the scandalous $ Millions USAID spent on condoms for Hamas, as uncovered by DOGE. Right?

Yet, this link:
https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10261
is nor my creation, and it is not created politicians. Not to mention that you thought, as if that has any relevance, by someone using links from Fox. 😂
f I thought that any of the politicians and lawyers who wrote your link had pursued the integrity of the USAID foundation, then you might have a point. However, this foundation is rotten to the core, and corrupted.
