USAID is Democrat Dark Money, and they are HOWLING that DOGE is saving the taxpayers a billion dollars a day.

Let me count the ways:

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6368281606112

$20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street
$2 million for Moroccan Pottery classes
$11 million to tell Vietnam to stop burning trash
$27 million to give gift bags to illegals before we deport them
Millions to help Afghanis grow crops instead of opium. As a result opium production has skyrocketed
$300 million to Afghanis to build diesel fuel power plants, which they can't use because diesel is too expensive
$200 million on a dam that was too unsafe to be used
$250 million to build a road that cannot be used. It is actually a road that goes nowhere
$9 million to Syrians for humanitarian aid, but someone messed up and that money went to Al Qaeda
$1 million for bat research in Wuhan
Funding Fashion Week in Paris. (France hasn't paid its NATO dues but USAID pays for Fashion Week.)

As Jesse Watters summed up, USAID is only .7 percent of the federal budget. Imagine the fraud, waste and abuse when DOGE looks elsewhere. Imagine the billions wasted by the Pentagon.

I don't think the 'democrat/republican' dynamic is fair. There are lots of Republicans on the take just as there are many Democrats on the take. This is a matter of corruption of which no politician is immune. That said it is time the American people took back their government and said "No More" to the kinds of scams that have been going on for decades if not centuries. America is not exceptional in that regard. In Canada we have the Liberal Party that is owned and operated by the Democrats and a very powerful corporation here in Canada. Between them and the WEF they decide who will be the Prime Minister of Canada and the Prime Minister of Canada is a virtual dictator in Canada. However the last few Prime Ministers Chretien, Martin and Trudeau are beholden to Chinese drug lords who are using Canada as a manufacturer and distributor and money laundering entity to keep their illicit money flowing. However the Chinese drug lords also have to pay their protection money to the Chinese Communist party who has other uses for the money. They sponsor things like DEI and the LGTBQXYZ thereby weakening the US (its main rival) and thus moving itself up the power ladder in international affairs. Silly Canadians and silly Americans are completely oblivious to the things their 'government' is actually doing and thus we see silly leftists moaning about the cuts that Trump/Musk is making.

@hippyjoe1955 Agree to an extent .. there are elements of the Republican party that are guilty of operating in their personal interest instead of us as citizens as well. I hope it all gets addressed.

@BrandNewMan Unfortunately politics attracts greedy people. Greedy people are very easily bought.
