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

[rightwinger]

The US is tapped out. The $36T Debt says no more borrowing, especially to give to other countries.

We spend $1 trillion a year on our military to enforce our power around the world.

We can afford to provide humanitarian aid

Both are necessary for our foreign policy

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

We can not allow illegal aliens and able bodied men and women to exhaust our public assistance programs...
Its that simple...
How many years have the dems said illegal aliens are not on welfare... now we know they were all wrong...

You don't even know what you are saying, mentally ill MAGA guy.

You think school children should go hungry in order to eliminate illegal immigration. What a ******* imbecile.

 

[LeftofLeft]

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.

From the Washington Post. --

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.

And we are supposed to give two shits about the corrupt and backwards countries that judge US or laugh at US? Here is a great opportunity for the UN to get up off its ass and do something if this is such a problem.

But we can still give massive tax cuts to billionaires and increase the national debt over $4 trillion more with the Big Ugly Bill.
Do you ever get tired being so full of shit?

1. We are not giving massive tax cuts to billionaires, we are extending the same tax rates, making them permanent.
2. We are not increasing the national debt over $4T. The CBO estimate did not include tariff revenue, or DOGE savings, or claw-backs from democrat theft, or interest savings from Fed rate cuts, or future spending cuts.
3. That $4T is a 10-year projection, very inaccurate, not to mention that the BBB cuts $1.5T from Bidens last bloated budget, so democrats whining about fiscal restraint is beyond ridiculous.

Same ******* thing, lightweight.

2. We are not increasing the national debt over $4T. The CBO estimate did not include tariff revenue, or DOGE savings, or claw-backs from democrat theft, or interest savings from Fed rate cuts, or future spending cuts.

More MAGA Nazi lies.

3. That $4T is a 10-year projection, very inaccurate, not to mention that the BBB cuts $1.5T from Bidens last bloated budget, so democrats whining about fiscal restraint is beyond ridiculous.

Yes...it will probably be much higher than $4 trillion after Trump's recession starts.

Illegal aliens should not be on public assistance... plain and simple... American citizens should not go hungry... WHAT HAPPENS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS IS ON THEM NOT US... no one said there is no risk to illegal entry into our nation...

Rubio is in charge of the humanitarian aid.

Yes

Because that is what makes America Great
We care about the suffering of others

 

[Blisterfinger]

Well....yeah.

After all, that is how evil MAGAs like you roll. The cruelty is the point.

At least we are not stupid like you are. I've explained to you how MAGA is your Superior. I am correct

 

[Rambunctious]

Yes...it will probably be much higher than $4 trillion after Trump's recession starts

 

[rightwinger]

Rubio is in charge of the humanitarian aid.

The why gut your agency that has been providing humanitarian aid for decades?

Why not gradually shift those people to the State Dept rather than shut them down?

 

[Rambunctious]

Yes

Because that is what makes America Great
We care about the suffering of others

We are not a charity state... we can't afford it... do you want the whole world to be wards of America?... that foolish...

 

[Oddball]

USAID needs to get in line.....I still haven't recovered from my untimely deaths caused by net neutrality, gubmint shutdowns, and leaving the Paris accords.

 

[rightwinger]

We are not a charity state... we can't afford it... do you want the whole world to be wards of America?... that foolish...

We are the wealthiest nation on earth

Humanitarian aid shows our greatness

 

[Oddball]

We are the wealthiest nation on earth

Humanitarian aid shows our greatness

Spend your own money, ******* cheapskate.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Yes

Because that is what makes America Great
We care about the suffering of others

So in order to prevent the global suffering of others, US Taxpayers must fund corrupt regimes with payouts and bribes? Got it.

The rest of the world needs to get on its hands and knees and thank US for all that we have done. They also need to clean their own house before any more of their full-of-shit moral judgement of US.

America is Exceptional.

 

[Rambunctious]

We are the wealthiest nation on earth

Humanitarian aid shows our greatness

We are 40 trillion in debt... we are not the wealthiest nation on earth with that kind of debt....

 

[justoffal]

Well....yeah.

After all, that is how evil MAGAs like you roll. The cruelty is the point.

Good that that's the headline....
Not that it's real of course.

Yes...it will probably be much higher than $4 trillion after Trump's recession starts.

You just don't get that Trump knows how high the tariffs can go without starting a recession. If he keeps them under 20% or so they won't even be noticed. He uses them more as a negotiation tool than as a punishment to consumers. I don't know why you guys are against "fair trade"?
Don't explode if the Fed lowers interest rates this month. For sure next month. Another boost to investors and a saving to the budget. There will be no recession.
