[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m disgusted by the level of grift. Who is the auditor of USAID?[/quote]
Democrats want to keep as much as possible secret, like who all was on the USAID board besides Samantha Powers??[/quote]

So ridiculous. USAID is audited. Every single project is a) chosen by the US government and b) competitively bid and awarded. Then those projects have to report. It wasn't that long ago that some corruption was identified and an entire contractor was shut down (AED). When something is truly corrupt, USAID found it. In 2008 the mortgage industry screwed over the entire country and basically sent us into a depression and we were like, "okay, you get a second chance" and gave them a pile of money. Are you serious that USAID, which essentially provides humanitarian services, is a 'grift'? GTFOH.[/quote]

Yeah. It was a grift along with the good programs. CIA was working with USAID on certain projects. Funding trans parties and operas overseas is ideological and has no discernible benefits. I worked with NGO people for years overseas and they could be jaded. They all had wild stories about USAID. You claim projects were competitively bid, but what if the only bidders are corrupt construction companies in XYZ developing country who do a mediocre job requiring replacement in a few years by an equivalently corrupt company owned by the country's president's son in law.... you're not left with much option.

USAID doesn't fund much construction nowadays. [/quote]

These days they don't fund much of anything.[/quote]
