USAID - Dems in full delusional mode as usual

[theblether]

USAID - there are six named D.O.G.E. geniuses pouring through this department line by line. Aged 19 to 24, Dems are calling them little boys. 

 

Translation - they are cr*pping themselves as these young men are ripping USAID apart. $20,000 to fund a LGBT comic book in Peru among many other ridiculous grants. 

 

But here's the real problem - Dems are saying USAID is only 1% of the Federal budget. True. 

 

But D.O.G.E has only had access for days, and Trump was inaugurated 2 weeks ago. Give it 18 months and we'll see how much waste and abuse is going around the Fed budgets. 

 

The problem for Dems is that they are downplaying these "small amounts" of money. By the midterms the GOP will be able to demonstrate at least half a trillion of savings. 

 

So what will the Dems say then? "Oh, it's only half a trillion?" But here's where the party will really start. 

 

Wait till D.O.G.E get their hands on the Medicaid and Medicaire contracts. They're going to uncover wild overcharging to the US government and consumers. 

 

Good luck trying to win the midterms if Trump crashes the cost of medication. I predict a midterm landslide.

Democrats always take the moral high ground whenever they can get someone else to shell out the money for it.

[theblether]

USAID has been hollowed out. The Dems are melting down. The American electorate are spewing at some of the places the money went. 

 

Dems say only Congress can shut it down. Go ahead, Dems - defend it and drown under the river of derision heading your way.

How is giving millions of dollars to Bill Kristol through USAID shadow ngos in the American interest?

By last count, his organization received approximately $38 Million taxpayers money, devided up amongst a dozen or so NGO’s.       Peace

This (USAID) is going to explode, then implode on the deep state fraudsters BIG TIME and very soon.

And here's me thinking that USAID meant Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug, like ibuprofen, aspirin, diclofenac etc.

One of the main political left’s objectives is to increase the size of the government via programs, contracts and bureaucracy, is a means to gain more power and votes. The ends ultimately has nothing to do with benefiting constituents or civilization, all that is just a bogus facade. In other words, they prefer to shoot themselves in the butt and damage the country first before relinquishing any power, so of course reducing the size of government is going to annoy the heck out of them.

Oldest trick in the book, grow the people that depend on the government for their employment, turn them into servants. 

 

If Fed gov lays off a hundred thousand that work around DC it will bring Virginia back into play for the GOP at the next election of they and their families relocate. Almost all Fed employees in DC area vote Dem.

Reading that USAID granted $70,000 for a LGBT stage show in Ireland. 

 

And $45 million for sexual reproduction and health in Gaza. Dear me. 

[JackGats]

I also hope Trump puts the Southern Poverty Law Center on the list of terrorist organisations, for that's what it is.

Far more likely for health costs to go up if Trump's past performance is any indication. You clearly don't recall that during his first campaign he called for government to negotiate the prices medicare pays for pharmaceuticals. He reneged on that before he got to office. He promised repeatedly to come up with a plan to replace Obamacare. A plan that would be cheaper and better than what Obamacare has to offer.  Nothing in Trump's record shows that he's willing to go after insurers or big pharma. In fact, the case is quite the opposite.

And while they may be IT whiz kids, what do they actually know about policy or why various expenditures are made.  Remember when Elon Musk promised savings of 2 trillion dollars. He's backed off of that one, hasn't he?

You are easily the most gullible and delusional poster on this forum. The link is to the notorious Democrat mouthpiece - NPR. They point out that the cost of the top 25 tier procedures - ie, the expensive ones, dropped by 6.3%. 

 

Ah, but you will celebrate the 3.4% rise in the cost of lower tier procedures? Then you'll get annoyed that it was well under inflation for that period. 

 

Even Biden joined in the push for transparency, you're actually arguing against a policy that the Dems agreed to promote and legislated to expand Trump's initial push. 

 

Once again, just be quiet.

When I was in business after driving trailer trucks for 2 decades I had a Petty Cash box , I never had 50 billion in it . But all kidding aside each expenditure must be accounted for with a substantiated statement.In a independent audit(GKA p.c) nothing was found to be outside the purview of peculiar.

 

The possible purchase of millions of dollars worth of Condoms and other  controversial donations didn’t pass the 

peculiar scrutiny test i suppose for the auditors.Good move by Trump

to appoint Rubio to be the administrator of USAID.

What has this got to do with the fact that Trump promised to push for a law that would allow Medicare to negotiate prices and then reneged on it?

What has it got do to with the fact that Trump repeatedly promised a health care plan that was less expensive than Obamacare and provided better coverage but never delivered?

And by the way, it was Obamacare legislation that called for pricing to be made transparent. The Trump administration to its credit did formulate rules, but it was neither Trump's nor is administration's idea.

And it was the Biden Administration that helped make health care far more affordable under Obamacare. Trump worked hard to undermine it.

Argument ad hominem is dishonest, and you frequently use it. As per "gullible and delusional".
