Have you ever been nice to someone to generate good will? Like at all. Ever. Did you see that movie Pay it Forward? That is part of the point of foreign aid. Be nice and feed people, help them. Once in a while, they may have your back. Is it wasteful? Sure parts are, but you also do a LOT of good. |
Have you watched the youtube podcast between Mike Benz and Tucker Carlson on what USAID has actually been doing around the world? Inform yourself. You're so far off base, it's hilarious. Do you realize the silence coming from countries around the world this week with the cutbacks because they hate USAID? Stop talking and start discerning fact from fiction. |
Sweetie, this is typing, not talking. |
The fact that you treat Tucker Carlson as a legitimate source of information is the tell here. Sorry, try something else that isn't an obvious Russian asset. |
Tucker Carlson? The guy that was so racist that even Fox News fired him? LOL That's who we should trust with information? And what silence? The rest of the world is covering this as a one-billionaire coup over a castrated President. Do you not know anyone in other countries??? What about China swooping in to give aid where we abandoned? China will be the next super power and it's because we handed it to them. Good for Elon who has many contracts with China. |
Carlson is a douche bag- no doubt about that. His douche bagness doesn't change the fact that USAID was doing a lot more waste than legitimate help. |
Again, the fact you are taking his words at face value tells us you don't care about accurate sourcing or real information. Hard pass. |
I'm not taking his words at face value you silly twit. I haven't seen that idiot's podcast and don't need to as I have more insider info regarding most of our Federal agencies than he could ever access. |
Snort. |
If you are hungry and US AID fed you and the boat with your next meal is sitting in a port, yes USAID did a lot. |
USAID has served useful purposes over the years and it doesn't necessarily need to be shutdown. Massive reformation is needed. |
Fine, then reform it, but don't recall families in the middle of missions, don't leave drugs in boxes in buildings that are no longer guarded, don't leave food, already purchased, to rot in warehouese, and don't stiff the midwestern farmers. |
Charity begins at home. |
You claim it is good will. But in reality it is spending to overthrow governments. |
Exactly. The whole world knows it now. |
