So How Much Money did Musk Save Taxpayers by Closing USAID?

[CrusaderFrank]

Wrong again. DOGE is illegal. This thread is about him cutting out an agency and not really saving us money, not your assumption about influence. I don't consider USAID as paying for influence.

As for your opinion on expenditures, Social Security is money we put in accounts and get paid back with Social Security payments, and the option to pay medicare premiums. So you can call that government spending if you want to, but I really don't because that's money we saved, and premiums for health care that we pay, not money the government is just giving away.

DOGE is Obama’s US Digital Service which was created in 2012

I am not the one obsessing

PUshing for something like transsexualism for kids is--by nature--obsession.

DOGE is illegal.

You're illegal. See what I did there?

You're the one who brought up influence. I just replied.

So if it's illegal it not influence. Sounds legit.

Is this even serious? SS is a transfer payment program. Are you one of the yo-yos who thinks the government put your money in a tidy bank account and saves it for you?

If I want to?! lol. SS has been considered a budgetary program since its inception. Just like military, healthcare, and thousands of other programs.

Okay, your scintillating accounting is noted.

 

[S.S.]

I don't spend any money on depends.

So someone buys them for you?

 

[S.S.]

Ignorance. USAID does more than give money.

Oh, the irony.

 

[westwall]

Easy to calculate using the figure that you provided.

Last year‘s federal budget was $6.2 trillion.

$6200,000,000,000×.003 = $18,600,000,000

$18.6 billion dollars saved, assuming a complete shutdown of USAID.

I suggest that they use that money to help egg producers and farmers buy more laying hens to replace the ones murdered by the Biden administration.

Remember, math is wacist according to Im2stupid.

 

[IM2]

Oh, the irony.

You make me laugh.

 

[IM2]

So someone buys them for you?

You eat your meals out of them.

 

[IM2]

Okay, your scintillating accounting is noted.

The facts avoid you.

Really? Are you one of those yo yos who thinks social security is some annual appropriation made by Congress?

If I want to?! lol. SS has been considered a budgetary program since its inception. Just like military, healthcare, and thousands of other programs.

LOL! I'm sure there is a budgetary item for the administration of social security.

Yes we do. First, Musk is unelected and he doesn't have the authority. And that really is the entire argument.

Now what this does is make us less safe, makes the world sicker, and allows China to enter into these spaces with the aid we ended.

The two million plus guv'mint hired workers are also unelected, yet they have decades worth more negative effect than Musk ever will have.

YOU are unelected for that matter. Worse yet you are one one of those parasite welfare leeches who is totally worthless and a negative slug upon society. Oft known as a useless mouth to feed!

You should be happy we tolerate your worthless shit ass and shut up. Were it my call, we'd ship your worthless ass back to Uganda! Let you fend for yourself there and see if they want to keep scum like you around.

 

[Stryder50]

Really? Are you one of those yo yos who thinks social security is some annual appropriation made by Congress?

Actually it is, numb-nuts.

A better question--how much money was wasted by having USAID?

 

[mikegriffith1]

USAID was grossly misusing federal tax dollars. As just one example, USAID funneled nearly $800 million to a pro-transgender group that seeks to censor criticism of the transgender agenda.

USAID Funneled Nearly $800 Million To Global Censorship Group

USAID funneled $799 million to a group that launched a global censorship platform and pushed radical gender ideology.
