Washington Post -- USAID Cuts May Cause 14 Million More Deaths In Next Five Years, Study Says

[j-mac]

Because they are what our President derides as shithole countries.
Because of geography, politics and culture the people struggle to survive

The US has saved millions of lives in these countries. George Bush saved millions from AIDS in Africa.

Trump says ….let them die
MAGA cheers

No, not at all...

Now, USAID will be folded into the State Dept. They will decide where our money should go, with accountability.

But, please do tell me how programs teaching Trans issues is saving lives in Botswana?

Unserious argument by an unserious, uneducated MAGA bumpkin.

Unserious argument by an unserious, uneducated MAGA bumpkin.

Just matching your energy fool....

 

[GWV5903]

You don't refute anything.

You have to present FACTS first…

Countless examples…

5 of the worst USAID scandals in history

You make up your own MAGA reality when you don't like the facts...like all Nazis do.

Facts are not in your favor much less your vocabulary…

Either refute the WaPo article or just shut the **** up.

The WP article claims “research” was done over the last 20 years and in “2030” 14MM will die???

The Lancet is not above reproach, in fact it is much closer aligned to “Idealogical Activism” than actual research…

[LuckyDuck01!]

Trump just doesn't want Americans to suffer.....he wants the whole world to suffer.

Making brown people suffer....the cruelty is the whole point of MAGA. It always has been.

Funding cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by the Trump administration could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths globally over the next five years, according to a new study, as the toll of the government’s dismantling of one of the largest aid agencies worldwide unfolds.

The study, published Monday in the Lancet, estimates that 91 million deaths in low- to middle-income countries were prevented between 2001 and 2021, owing to USAID, whose programs have played a vital role administering humanitarian and developmental assistance to vulnerable populations around the world.

Through projection models assessing two scenarios — one in which 2023 funding levels continue and another that reflects the cancellation of 83 percent of USAID’s programs announced by the Trump administration — researchers estimated that more than 14 million preventable deaths could occur by 2030, including 4.5 million deaths among children under 5, if cuts continue.

USAID spending:
1. $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia's workplace. It's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens. How's it going to kill 14 million?
2. $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland. It's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens. How's it going to kill 14 million?
3. $14,000 for a transgender opera in Columbia. It's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens. How's it going to kill 14 million?
4. $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. It's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens. How's it going to kill 14 million?
5. $20 million to create a Sesame Street program in Iraq. It's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens and frankly they don't give a crap about such programming. How's it going to kill 14 million?
6. $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes. Newsflash Morocco is already known for mosaics and its exquisite pottery. They don't need any money for it as they are already pottery experts. Also, it's not our nation and doesn't benefit American citizens. How is it going to kill 14 million?
7. $2 million promoting tourism in Lebanon of all places. It's technically a war zone region with Hezbollah and Israel fighting. Nations have the technology and knowledge on how to promote tourism and don't need us for it. How's that going to kill 14 million?
8. $9 million plus of USAID's humanitarian aid intended to feed civilians, ends up funding terrorists instead.
9. $10 million was used by Al Qaeda linked groups for meals.
10. $15 million to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to help distribute oral contraceptives and condoms. Newsflash their goal is to have large numbers of children, not reduce the number of children. Such items would be worthless.
11. $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt. 14 million plus tourists already regularly visit Egypt, without us funding.
12. $2.5 million for electric vehicles in Vietnam. They get electric vehicles from China and much of their traffic consists of scooters and rickshaws.
This crap clearly comes under the realm of waste, fraud and abuse. We don't know where any of it is really going. For all we know, this could just be going to any individual's pockets. All the above has to go and it isn't going to kill 14 million people.

 

[the watcher]

We're going broke giving massive tax cuts to Elon Musk, shit-for-brains.

Tax cuts are one side of the equation; spending is the other. Congress is responsible for both.

I did...the WaPo article.

And you have exactly jack and shit for a response, MAGA rube.

Less than 1% of their budget, MAGA simp.

There are billions of dollars missing in the Dept of Defense....you ready to shut them down to, imbecile???

Thank you, Capt Obvious.

But you obviously don't care about one side of that equation....irresponsible, reckless tax cuts for billionaires.

Charity starts at home. If you want to spend YOUR money on these foreign unfortunates, be my guest. I'll help Americans. I'm tired of giving to the world only to have them tell me how terrible Americans are.

 

[Concerned American]

You mean rich Americans first.

Trump wants imbecile poor MAGA voters such as yourself to die, too....by taking their Medicaid and making them breathe more polluted air.

It is not the government's responsibility to support its citizenry. The opportunity is there is you get off of your butt and earn it.

 

[Concerned American]

If you were, then deranged, cruel puppy murderers like Kristi Noem

Oh, boo hoo hoo. You willfully advocate the murder of unborn, human Americans while you she crocodile tears for fictitious puppies? Get your priorities in order, moron.

You shrug your shoulders about millions of born people dying overseas.....so go **** yourself.

You care more about the unborn than the born.....how fucked up are you??

 

[Concerned American]

No....you're just an imbecile.

You care more about the unborn than the born.....how fucked up are you??

Again, How much of YOUR OWN MONEY have you donated to these millions that you are so concerned about? We already know that you hypocritically advocate for the murder of the innocent unborn.

That says they may not, as well.

Irrelevant to the discussion, lightweight.
