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

The NYT is running a piece on the dismantling of USAID.
“ Even the agency’s supporters acknowledged it could use reform. Much of the more than $35 billion it managed last year went to Washington-based contractors, not directly to communities in need overseas. The success of its programs, especially those focused on economic and political development, was often hard to measure. And U.S.A.I.D.’s goals sometimes clashed with those of the State Department.”
The bolded is the crux of the matter. One of the main reasons the DMV has the highest household income in the U.S. is because of NGOs sucking money from the taxpayers.

Is the money saved being used to help our feed children at risk or veterans?
What is being done to help our citizens?
This was a democrat by the way....

Yup. That’s why Democrats are so mad.
