Sounds like the American taxpayers via USAID paid Time magazine $4 million dollars to name Zelensky person of the year. Big if true.

No surprise. Supporting Ukraine had to be popular so Biden and many others could take their cut.

NGO's are a scam:

Quote:
IT. IS. ALL. A. SCAM.
Did you know that the "nonprofit" world--which is often extremely profitable for the people who work there or are their vendors--makes up about 10% of our workforce now and about 6% of our GDP? All of it is subsidized to some extent by the government, and much of it is directly funded by you and me.
Let that sink in. 13 million people work for nonprofits, and I assure you that few of them are out solving homelessness or working in soup kitchens.

Almost as bad as the raw numbers is the distorting effect on our policies and national conversations. When Joe Biden funnels billions into "climate change" activism, that distorts our politics by giving a bigger megaphone. When nonprofits fundraise for their causes or write grants, part of the sales pitch is that there is a crisis to solve and that they are the only people to solve it.

But the truth is that their business model depends upon NOT solving the problems. They get paid to work on them, not solve them. Their money depends on the crisis so they exacerbate it, not improve things. As with the California High-Speed Rail Project, getting the train built would cut off the tens of billions, so they keep puttering and not building the train while draining the taxpayers' pockets.


"Democracy Alliance." Sure thing.

Roman brought receipts yesterday of $122 million in USAID to terrorists.


Millions in war slush funds to an utterly corrupt country.

I just read some of that. Incredible. I want to see what award went to that though. It can't be as simple 'do this and we pay you 4 mil.'

Does anyone know who are the 10% that didn't get cut?

I know Elon said he gave the Ebola people their money back, but that's all I've heard of what's remaining in the agency.

I hope they're ones that go to food for starving people. Not just for the people in need but for the farmers here that are relying on the contracts through USAID for their livelihoods as well.

Here is something that's vague, but at least it's something:

Some of the programs that were not eliminated include support for Cuba, Venezuela, Lebanon and Haiti, food assistance and life-saving medical care for those suffering from malaria and HIV, according to the spokesperson.

Thx as well. If they are actually doing those things that makes sense. I could envision something like 10 percent of USAID/State Department grants actually being used for good purposes.

As we've seen, often the food money goes to the local dictator who then pockets it. Dems get to proudly proclaim they're feeding the poor while communist dictators get richer.

Your thoughts on the farmers who are paid by USAID for the food that goes to those countries? They're being affected (losing out) as well.

Can you provide a link to how much food USAID actually provided?

The only one I saw was clintons daughter who provided about 11,000 meals at a cost of $1800 each.

Also isn't the UN supposed to be doing that along with probably hundreds of other non-profits?

I think we should return to the free market and not pay farms to feed other people in other counties.

There will always be an excuse to not cut off one special interest group or another.

Just think of the possibilities if tax rates were lower and Americans had more of their own money to control their own destiny.

My thoughts are there's no accountability for taxpayer money from USAID. How do you know the farmers are really getting the funds we say they are? Are the farmers slave labor for a communist dictator? Is 10% going back to the big guy?

Does the US subsidizing the rest of the world stifle innovation?

Maybe there's some kid out there that would invent the cure for cancer of stop the 2032 asteroid but instead he's making gay puppetry in a program funded by USAID.

So, if they actually are getting the money and now they don't be? Are you of the SOL for them?

I say that because there's no shortage of videos by farmers on social media saying they're expecting the money from their contracts through USAID.
