I realize what the reflexive response will be considering the interview took place on MSNBC. If you can get past that you can judge for yourself whether Andrew Natsios, the USAID administrator under George Bush, has something of value to say. You can skip to roughly the 2 minute mark of the interview.

I think he offers some valuable insight in to the work of the agency you don't hear about over the din of vitriol about Musk, his lack of authority to do what he's doing, and his obvious conflicts of interest.

I doubt that Trumpers care.

They’ve been given their Marching orders and off they go with no thought needed

That din is coming from your ilk, trying to distract from the waste and corruption Musk is uncovering. Silence that and allow us to see what spending has been going on so we can judge for ourselves.

 

[berg80]

They’ve been given their Marx hi NG orders and off they go with no thought needed

That's very unfortunate because Natsios sheds some light on the largely unappreciated value of USAID's work.

 

[DGS49]

He is saying that every Administration, if it is a different party from the previous Administration, does pretty much the same thing.

The difference this time is, rather than accepting the whole package of programs and trimming off those that are "offensive," the Trump47 Administration is stopping everything temporarily, and then continuing the ones that actually promote our national interest.

For those who have taken a Public Administration course, it's called, "Zero Based Budgeting," and it is generally accepted as good policy in public administration. The public sector tends to perpetually continue worthless programs just because they have been around a long time, so every once in a while you have to "pause" everything, look more closely, and get rid of the worthless and counterproductive programs.

As always, Trump is right and the Democrats/MSM are wrong.

I encourage you to listen to the man.

You need to go further in to the interview. Try to keep an open mind. Thanks.

My time is too valuable. You don't have to check every apple in the barrel to conclude that it's a barrel of rotten apples.

Funny coming from a shill of your caliber.

Nice avatar.

 

[hadit]

I encourage you to listen to the man.

I encourage you to look at the waste that is being uncovered instead of reflexively railing against every attempt to uncover it. You do realize that you would find this entire exercise to be totally acceptable if President Harris was directing it, right?

 

[berg80]

My time is too valuable. You don't have to check every apple in the barrel to conclude that it's a barrel of rotten apples.

If you listen to the interview you'll come to understand that belief is based on a false narrative.

 

[berg80]

I encourage you to look at the waste that is being uncovered instead of reflexively railing against every attempt to uncover it. You do realize that you would find this entire exercise to be totally acceptable if President Harris was directing it, right?

I encourage you to put aside the narrative you have been fed, if only for 10 minutes, and listen to the interview. Don't be afraid to have your mind changed.

We gave this administration their marching orders when we hired them.

NONE of this....NONE of it....explains the ridiculous things we're funding all around the world, while 1 out of 4 Americans is on Medicaid.

EXPLAIN what you love about funding Sesame Street in Iraq vs. helping poor Americans.

Don't run away this time. EXPLAIN

 

[SweetSue92]

I'm listening to it right now and the only "defense" this man has is that the White House controls the spending.

NO KIDDING

 

[Billiejeens]

All this administration is doing is shining a light on what is happening and has happened.

It's like going to the hospital and getting an x-ray, looking at what you see and screaming at your doctor for showing you.

The former Bush admin official who ran USAID can explain its benefits far more knowledgeably than I can. Why are you afraid to listen to what he has to say?

 

[Billiejeens]

I encourage you to listen to the man.

He doesn't say anything close to what you want him to say.

 

[SweetSue92]

The former Bush admin official who ran USAID can explain its benefits far more knowledgeably than I can. Why are you afraid to listen to what he has to say?

I did listen. He said nothing.

So which is your favorite?

Trans rights in Guatemala?
Sesame street in Iraq?
Egyptian tourism?
Disinformation in Eastern Europe?

Just go ahead and admit you're such an actual Communist you would rather have your ideology spread than see Americans in a better spot.

IT will go like this: "Hi, my name is Berg and I would rather see money wasted on Leftist corruption than see fewer American children on food stamps"

we can all see it. Remember: you're supposed to be the party that cares about the little guy, but I guess only if the little guy is putting on a trans opera in Ireland
