[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In ordinary times, when one finds fraud or questionable practices, one changes procedures to fix the problem.  Rather than firing everyone and closing a congressionally mandated agency, which is unlawful and a violation of separation of powers.

Seems this agency is so fraught with fraud that closing it and starting over is really the only alternative.

When billions in tax payer money has been wasted due to fraud, time to close it down.  [/quote]

This is really an insane take.

Not sure if you can see it - but if someone else had said this in 2024, you would have thought they were a nutter.  That's not how our government works.  We fix it, we don't close it.[/quote]

The apathy of “this is how we have always done it”, got USAID in this mess. Change is scary but this is what progress looks like. [/quote]

So far, there has been no hint of progress since January. Zero.

Tearing something down is easy.  Building something new is hard.  Apparently impossible.

Should have fixed it instead of destroying it.  Anyone could have told them that.[/quote]

Stopping the multi-billion dollar boondoggle that was USAID is progress. [/quote]
yea, all that free money to farmers in red states.

I know Democrats are incapable of distinguishing citizens from foreign nationals. Still, farmers in the U.S. who feed us, are U.S. taxpayers and are more deserving of U.S. dollars than men in Mozambique who can't figure out basic sexual hygiene.  [/quote]

DP. As an independent, I'm amazed at Republican's wilful obtuseness when they disagree.  Rather than making reasoned arguments, they attack and blather.  [/quote]
