A minute example of Federal government waste of OUR Taxpayers' money!

First.. I'm providing LINKS to my statements...not guesses... substantiation!

USAID was started under a Democrat administration..(1961 JFK...)

When the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was created, it brought together several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs. Until then, there had never been a single agency charged with foreign economic development, so with the passage of the Foreign...

At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the

www.whitehouse.gov

..(AND perpetuated by GOP administrations)... finally exposed for the dumb ass expenditures of our tax dollars!
Now for an even more sobering consideration... These are examples of USAID expenditures...BUT what about the multitude of other examples of WASTEFUL dumb ass expenditures?

Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:

• $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
• $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
• $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
• $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
• $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
• $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
• $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
• Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
• Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
• “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
• Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
• Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

You're late. Trump already fixed USAID, by putting it under the State Department.

Most US aid is in the form of food, medical care, water supplies, sanitation, housing

If the US pulls out, it will provide an opportunity for China to step in and provide humanitarian aid under their flag

Your WhiteHouse.gov reference isn't a substantiation of anything.

did you agree with anything on that list?...

 

[rightwinger]

did you agree with anything on that list?...

Lets just say I have seen these lists before

They rattle off offensive misuse of govt funds but when you dig in to the actual expenditure it turns out the list is grossly misrepresenting what the money was used for

Fool me once…

I will stick with my position that the overwhelming majority of USAID foreign aid goes for humanitarian assistance.

 

[Darkwind]

The United States is not a charity and any expenditures of taxpayer funding MUST align with US security and US interests.

It isn't that complicated.

I was surprised to learn that before the had of the USAID was fired, that agency pretty much told anyone responsible for oversight to go fuck themselves.

Can’t wait to see the Trump budget with all of the spending cuts. He owns Congress...there is going to be a budget...right?

And of course it became a tool for George Soros and the CIA to conduct color revolutions ........which in November 2020 they used in THE UNITED STATES AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE MAGADONIANS

A 1993 USAID document shows the agency signed an agreement with the Soros Foundations’ Management Training Program to train 30 “professionals” from Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of color revolutions shook Eastern Europe, with George Soros’ network of NGOs playing a central role in the unrest.

In 2003–2004, Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation partnered with USAID to support Ukraine’s ‘Orange Revolution’. Prior to that, the US spent $54.7 million in 2003 and $34.11 million in 2004 on “democracy programs” in Ukraine through various agencies, including USAID.

The US legal watchdog Judicial Watch revealed in April 2018 that USAID sponsored Soros’ globalist agenda in Guatemala. In total, OSF reportedly spent around $100 million fomenting unrest in Latin America between 2015 and 2018.

In October 2018, the watchdog obtained documents indicating that USAID partnered with Soros to fund radical left-wing activists in Albania. In 2016, USAID reportedly allocated $9 million to a campaign overseen by Soros’ East West Management Institute.

To illustrate the scale of funds managed by Soros-linked initiatives, in 2024, then-President Joe Biden requested nearly $30 billion for USAID in 2025.

Most of the items are BS misrepresentations of what the aid actually presented. I don’t take them seriously

Most USAID goes for humanitarian purposes

A lot of that has simply been moved, not eliminated. Big difference.

Your WhiteHouse.gov reference isn't a substantiation of anything.

OK... then where is YOUR substantiation that the expenditures are all wrong? What is your source?
How about this source regarding wasteful spending that has nothing to do with health but DEATH!
Middle East Forum analysis found that USAID has handed millions of federal dollars to organizations directly in the Gaza Strip, which Hamas controls.

“USAID beneficiaries have called for their lands to be ‘cleansed’ from the ‘impurity of the Jews,’ among dozens of other chilling examples,” the group’s report said. “USAID staff attend the offices of charities which seemingly operate on behalf of senior Hamas leaders, while staff of multiple multi-million dollar USAID beneficiary charities openly praise and encourage violence against Jews.”

The Washington Times reported late last year that federal prosecutors revealed in an indictment that hundreds of thousands of taxpayer-funded meals that were supposed to go to Syrian refugees instead went to the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in Syria. The man who ran the organization’s Syrian division skimmed as much as $10 million of meals.

USAID’s humanitarian aid, programs invite onslaught of scrutiny and overtures to action under Trump

President Trump has turned his attention to the “radical lunatics” at the U.S. Agency for International Development in his pursuit of wasteful federal spending.
