The press is running for the fainting couch over Trump setting DOGE loose on
USAID with plans to gut the entire organization.

 I don't care. Elon Musk isn't fucking president of the United States;
Trump needs to reign this guy in.
 

Here's a small taste of what USAID has been doing with your tax money:

 I'm sure every single government agency, including Library of Congress,
has absurd spending on pointless projects. But true government reform
takes real work, not just these power trips locking all the employees
out. Or lobby Congress to sunset the agency. Anything is better than
these stupid games.
 

I had a thought tonight.. .If we don't fund these programs what if China steps in to do so? Then what happens?
