You have to ask. Why did those 2 USAID not turn over any material requested? If it's on the up and up, should have given any material requested. 60 years of american taxpayers wasteful spending.
Because USAID is used by the CIA at times to fund various "clandestine" projects, look up "Timber Sycamore + Syria".

Try multiply that number by at least 1.5 due to all the benefits they receive, etc. A normal corporation is around 40% extra for Social security match, insurance, etc and govt bennies are way better. Then add rent, electricity, overhead, etc and it is probably 1.8 - 2.0 their base pay.

@@SurelockohmsNo money going to wealthy yet. Just because Democrats say this will happen doesn't make it so. Those same individuals said Trump wouldn't win both times he won.
I'm so impressed by this. Hope is on the horizon. 🎉
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the cover agency for CIA influence operations worldwide. However, technically USAID is supposed to be the charitable side of U.S. government, supporting foreign countries. If USAID is simply magnanimous and altruistic aid to foreign countries using taxpayer funds, then what exactly is the “classified material” they would need to withhold from DOGE review? Sometimes all we need are simple questions to destroy the matrix of lies.
$50 billion annual budget I wonder how we could use that to make school, roads, and our disenfranchise communities in rural and inner city American Better.
None of this matters if these idiots are just cutting and shutting down "woke" agencies and NOT re-directing that money into the neighborhoods and programs FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NONE OF IT MATTERS! There will be HUGE backlash against MAGA, republicans, and TRUMP/ELON if this turns out to be overreach and overreach while re-creating Trump's own corrupt swamp creatures and there's nothing TANGIBLE for the American people to show....temp rising.. t
You can't. There's too much corruption at every level.
I wonder thow much billionaires can pay for those things to
@@willterkins2443so instead of using the taxes that they already paid, you want them to paid out of pocket also? Tell me you are a jobless basement dwelling loser without telling me.
Looking in from the outside, you all should be very careful of an unelected billionaire running your country. Aren’t you even a little bit suspicious of what’s going on in Washington? This is just the beginning. You might be next.
Wow. Instead of just saying they were gonna cut spending. They are doing it!!!!
Is thatba first for a politician?
All other politicians could be bought, but not this one.
It might even help the working class
... hahaha highly unlikely
Which tells you Trump's no politician. This is a LEADER.
@@justinsandoval4859 Hi, working class american here (I'm a kitchen worker making $12/hr). I am smart enough to know that the bulk of inflation is caused by unchecked government spending. So yes, every single cut to government spending is a win in my book. I'm also really looking forward to no tax on overtime.
@benjaminstrong3326 proof is in the pudding. I know a con man when I see one and your wages are about to get shorter. Trump says, " there will be some pain".
No country should spend tax money on foreign aid, if you want to donate money it should be at your own free will and pockets.
This is great. Time to cut off the source of so much corruptness in DC.
I think the word that you're looking for is "corruption".

Stop all foreign aid. No reason the tax payer should pay for any foreign government or military defense.
Every government agency should be under a citizens review. Including the DOJ.
Musk and Trump do not have the authority. That is what congress if for
No more taxation without representation.
And the DoD - the largest government spender.
Now it’s under criminals review!

Why does fox feel it's necessary when describing Elon musk to say billionaire first like we don't know he's a billionaire but you have to mention it every time?
They are trying to imprint a bias against him, based on his wealth, i.e., trying to divide MAGA patriots. I hope it backfires on them. Fox is not truly Conservative and the owners have been subtly anti-Trump for years.
To rub it in people's faces
We need to start putting millionaire in front of certain Congressional members. Millionaire Nancy Pelosi, millionaire Chuck Schumer, millionaire Joe Biden, millionaire Kamala Harris. See how they like it.
Right! They should say GENIUS Elon Musk.

More like third world countries corrupt politicians and dictators.
My taxes were not ever meant to be! 😂 I just don’t have a choice.

As an expat working for an NGO in the Philippines, I agree that USAID should be reevaluated because there is absolutely no help for those that need it the most. Children extremely malnourished and living in dire poverty receive absolutely no help from the agency.
It's money laundering, and real people in need of aid never see a dime of it. Rich people getting richer while the poor starve is not what they started out to do.
@@seac777 Well now there is no help for anyone; ever again. Trump has made malaria great again.

That makes sense to me. The DOJ had an emergency evacuation of their building last week. Everyone was in the sidewalk for hours. Wonder what evidence they destroyed or packed out???

They don’t give it away. They launder it back to themselves!!
We have multi trillion dollars debt with interest. It's time to start paying it down.
600 employees x 100.000 USD salary (average according to glassdoor for USAID), thats
!!!60.000.000 USD !!!
just for the bureaucratic administration of giving tax payers money to other nations. Every year.
That does not even include the billions that were given away. Amazing...
600 employees in Washington DC. They also have employees stationed all over the world.
Not to mention buildings, rent or maintenance, electricity, the list goes on.
Try multiply that number by at least 1.5 due to all the benefits they receive, etc. A normal corporation is around 40% extra for Social security match, insurance, etc and govt bennies are way better. Then add rent, electricity, overhead, etc and it is probably 1.8 - 2.0 their base pay.
Usually salary x 3 is the actual cost or saving otherwise.

We’ll see if it actually goes to helping them. Or wasted on. Govt programs
If you start handing money to homeless people you will encourage homelessness. A thriving economy, affordable housing, solutions to the causes of homelessness are what’s needed.
Those citizens will remain homeless and starving. Any money saved by the orange man will go to his billionaire oligarch friends.

This also needs to be done in the UK. The population is desperate and the government is giving away billion to other countries while taking away heating allowances from the elderly and changing the tax system to disembowel all that they can.
Thats because trump works for the USA, while Këir Yeager Stärmer works for WEF and Davos, at the behest of foreign intrests.

If you want foreign nations to continue to keep the US dollar as their reserve instead of the yuan
What a stupid comment.
The US Federal deficit exists by choice and not because of lack of productivity or US foreign aid. The debt exists because like a well run business it doesn't make sense to be cash only. If you can afford it any well run business and country judiciously converts expected future revenue into providing current day benefits.
That's why anyone who advocates for debt ceilings and balanced budgets should be kicked out of government and business, they don't know what they're talking about, have no relevant experience and never went to business school.
