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

[healthmyths]

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.

But you don't have any proof! Just your truly uninformed opinion! Give me facts that 51% of USAID foreign aid goes for humanitarian assistance!

Putin and Xi are standing back and watching Trump destroy our country and all our alliances

Putin is cheering Trump on saying soon all of Europe will cave to him as well.

Meanwhile all of Europe is making jokes, as is Canada:

Latest joke making the rounds in Canada: Trump has managed to completely piss off the Quebecois. Do you know how hard it is to get the French to stand up and call themselves "Proud Canadians"?

But you don't have any proof! Just your truly uninformed opinion! Give me facts that 51% of USAID foreign aid goes for humanitarian assistance!

That’s why it’s called USAID. Foreign Aid is THE ONLY THING it does.

The range of activities it undertakes is vast. For example, not only does USAID provide food in countries where people are starving, it also operates the world's gold-standard famine detection system, which uses data analysis to try to predict where food shortages are emerging.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjdmx12j9no
Much of USAID's budget is spent on health programmes, such as offering polio vaccinations in countries where the disease still circulates and helping to stop the spread of viruses which have the potential to cause a pandemic.

What is USAID and why does Donald Trump want to end it?

The US aid agency spends $40bn a year on humanitarian support - but Trump says he wants it to be shuttered.

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

China won’t provide humanitarian assistance, it will provide “loans” for huge, cheaply built, unnecessary infrastructure projects that only benefit China. Africa has already found that the “ugly Chinese” is far worse than the “ugly American” ever was. The Chinese staff of the projects treat local employees far worse than slaves and make no bones about it.

What is your point? Where else are these nations going to turn to???

 

[Hollie]

Again, I have seen these lists before
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

Again, your ‘because I say so” barking is a poor excuse for a grownup argument.

Certainly not Canuck’istanians.

^^^ supports all the waste like money for gay comic books in BFE

Democrats are traitors working with the WEF on a plot to intentionally collapse America. USAID is just another attack.

If USAID was helping Americans, democrats would have killed it long ago.

Democrats = traitors

Rightwinger is a government pensioner. He was indoctrinated long ago.

You just have to make a pointless comment displaying your ignorance and nastiness. That seems to be all you have.

Rightwinger is a government pensioner. He was indoctrinated long ago.

Whereas your brainwashing has been relatively recent. Have you bought your Nazi flag yet?

Nazi, Nazi, Nazi!!

Haven’t these hateful libs learned yet they labeling their political opponents with reprehensible names is part of the reason they lost the election.

That’s true, but as long as there are more normal people, we will keep winning elections.

What far righties are you talking about, btw? The fringe little groups woth their tiki torches? They’re inconsequential. The far lefties, however, have grabbed political power and spent the last four years destroying America.

So it's ok for China to have slaves according to you.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Themselves. When they see the American gravy train has halted, they will find a way to feed their own people. Or perhaps Canada will step up to feed and medicate the third world. After all, you are very quick to criticize the USA, show us that you can do better.

We are talking about the federal government, and religion is unrelated.

(Why is it liberals have to inject “Jewish” into every discussion?)
