[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USAID needs to cut down to less than 20% from its current levels and they need to place employees elsewhere if possible. I agree with the contractor bloat which is other reason the current employees seem useless. [/quote]

20% is ridiculous. You are just pulling that # out of your a&@[/quote]

Do you know how much bloat there is at USAID? Most of the employees and contractors are on telework status and barely do anything. Also, why we need to spend money in other countries. [/quote]

Ok, well you're outing yourself as someone who has no idea what goes on at USAID.

Everyone I know -- and I've worked there for 15 years -- is extremely busy all the time. We have big jobs and smart people.

But we're also public servants. There is no secret plot to circumvent the president or whatever. People may not always agree personally with a decision but we get it done.[/quote]

Worked on what? The mission has changed and now the new administration don't want to put as much money towards USAID and the staff would get cut. How is this any different than someone working for Disney and they decided to change future direction of their company?[/quote]

For one when Disney tries to change direction, innocent children don't die because they no longer have access to essential medicines and clean water and people don't step on landmines that were in the process of being removed.   That's what will happen without USAID support.  But I don't I don't know how to explain to someone why they should care about other people.  That's a failure of your own values.[/quote]

Why should the US bankroll other countries' water purification, landmine removal, medication production? They can do that themselves. We can't fund the whole world.[/quote]

Because they can't do that themselves in Africa, or in war torn countries typically, and it's better for us to fund it so that people stay put in their own countries rather than come to the US as migrants due to economic desperation.  (Immigrants the Trump admin so desperately wants to deport.) [/quote]
