Audits and accountability, oh my.
The trough has been shut off; over and empty. Investigations will ensue.

Corporations hire people and they move to other countries if taxed too heavily, just sayin'.
When you tax a corporation they raise prices causing inflation.
A better idea is a "transaction tax" on all financial transactions.
That would only hit computer traders and day traders, the other "buy and hold" investors would not notice it. Something like a 1% tax on the value of the buy/sell/stock/bond/derivative/option/etc.

You are of the understanding that only elected officials are empowered to make decisions?

Most of the money went to corrupt leaders of those countries we were trying to "influence." The stacked bags of rice with "USAID" printed on them were staged for a photo shoot, to make people believe USAID was actually feeding people. If you can't see through this by now, you're stupider than I thought you were.
Wait, what am I saying? I already knew you were an extremely stupid sumbitch. Never mind.
Apparently you don't know how our idiot Congress works.
They don't do budgets. They haven't done a budget in 30 years.
They do "continuing resolutions", and pile as much pork into them as they possibly can.

Still, if Musk uses folks' private info in any nefarious way, he should be thrown in prison for life.
Elon Musk can now access your personal information: What you need to know
The Department of Government Efficiency is reportedly seeking access to sensitive payment systems in the Treasury Department.

Elon Musk's DOGE gets access to US government payment system after standoff
Elon Musk, who has been tasked by President Donald Trump to identify fraud and waste in the government, had sought access to the system Treasury uses to dole out federal funds.

The move by DOGE means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.

Are they closing it or are they just reorganizing/compartmentalizing it elsewhere like they've been doing with others?

Ladies and Gentlemen we now have an ARISTOCRACY which in Greek means an EXCELLENT GOVERNMENT
According to the Honorable Marjorie Taylor Greene the USAID is the favorite agency of the swamp dwellers
She explains:
The Deep State is fighting for their survival.
President Trump froze the funding to USAID and now he’s taking steps to shut it down. Without the USAID’s $50 BILLION annual budget, the Deep State will be in shambles.
Let me explain…
USAID is one of the best funded and most effective institutions controlled completely by the Deep State.
They use the $50 BILLION annual budget as a slush fund to advance their radical progressive social movements and globalist agenda across the world by funding coups, color revolutions, and laundering money back into Democratic campaign coffers through NGOs.
Let me emphasize after the 2020 Election the CIA used the $50 Billion slush funds to fight President Trump and the MAGA Movement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Democrats ultimate response to USAID:
Lawfare.
"“If there are entities that have signed contracts with USAID – they might have a breach of contract claim,” he said. “If there are civil servants who are employed by USAID who think that their employment has been wrongfully terminated in violation of Civil Service protections – they might have a claim."

And meanwhile, the USAID computer servers have been carted away.
And Democratic Senators have been denied access to the premises.

Trump and Musk move to dismantle USAID, igniting battle with Democratic lawmakers
The developments come after Elon Musk said that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about the aid and development agency and “he agreed we should shut it down.”

The USAID has absolutely nothing to do with your inability to pay your mortgage.
This is a lie. If Trump was acting on the will of the people, he would be working on providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Because that is exactly what a super-majority of Americans want.
Now. Putting your red herrings aside, the USAID is feeding starving people all over the world. This signals the compassion of the United States to these people and creates feelings of goodwill toward America.
The same thing when foreign students come here to attend our superior universities. When they graduate and go home, they return as de factor goodwill ambassadors for the US.
This, and many other programs, creates what is called soft power.
If we give up that power around the world, as Trump is attempting to do, guess who is going to fill the vacuum.
Go ahead. Guess.
China has already been working on undermining our global power with their belt and road initiative. They've been making large advances, particularly in Africa.
Co-presidents Musk and Trump are making a seriously bone-headed mistake. They are gifting our soft power over to China with a big red ribbon.

Morons, when you allow private billionaires to control tax payer dollars that's corruption on steroids. That's cutting out the middle man. That's letting the fox guard the hen house.This is why all the lawfare and lies and even back to Russia gate was all about... this is a dagger in the heart of corrupt entrenched politicians on both sides of the isle but mostly with democrat's.Reevaluating And Realigning United States Foreign Aid
