The Democrat Utopia

You're the one trying to pretend the USAID cuts are only about some niche issue and ignore the potential harm to millions of people. Don't you claim to be Christian?

No I actually don’t ignore it.   But I also acknowledge we can’t be the world’s healthcare system.  There are private charities all around the world that get private donations who can probably do more efficient work on much of that stuff.   we have people in this country that could use those dollars spent on them.   Why are you ok with potential harm to millions of people in the US while we have slush funds of junk money overseas? 

You still for a third time won’t acknowledge the insane spending through USAID and comment on funding transgender Dance parties in Bangladesh.  Quite telling you are ok with so much government waste while always asking for government to take more taxpayer money :clap


 


Or.....and hear me out.....the level of exaggeration and Limbaugh self-promotion is unfathomable, and the slightest bit of qualitative investigation would calm consumers of Trump branded autocracy down (if they actually want to be calmed down).

In a simpler time this kind of aid was considered Christian, and operated throughout both Democrat and Republican administrations.

On the slightly more traditional U.S. aid front, USAID typically purchases $2 billion in grain from U.S. farmers every year. Can't wait to see who they blame when that income goes away.

It's a pretty definitive list of the kind of news and information the agency supports. Much of it falls into the old Voice of America template conservatives used to appreciate, encouraging freedom of the press to people living under autocratic regimes. It also encourages giving a voice to ethnic minorities and women which --- believe it or not --- were once considered American values, even under Republican administrations. If the smoking gun includes talking about Climate Change and the Pandemic, well there we are. The alternative is pretending it doesn't exist. So if you want to walk through how a relatively small change NGO is advancing a false liberal agenda, give me examples and show your homework. We can talk about right wing think tanks pimping high-grade disinformation in another thread.

btw....four of those last 10 years were under the President you voted for at least twice. 

Also, I was able to ferret out this "secretive" NGO in a :05 Google search. They're not exactly hiding, Sherlock.
