Thread title says "Trump shuts down USAID", but the story is all about Musk saying he's going to do it. So I guess now we're cool with unelected bureaucrats taking control of government?

Nice principles you got there.
You understand Trump's the one in charge right? All these things are being done at his direction.
And yes, I'm totally fine with Musk doing as much as possible as long as it begins to eliminate government spending and waste.


So it's okay for unelected bureaucrats to run things so long as they align with your interests?

Like I said, nice principles you've got there.
Do you know the definition of unelected bureaucrat is?


Unelected=not elected to any office
Bureaucrat=government official.

What office was Musk elected to again?
He's not a government official as DOGE is not a federal executive department, as that would require Congress approval.

Musk is a 3rd party, not government, that is temporarily giving outside advice to Trump.

So I guess the talking point is "how dare an unelected official expose our corruption"? Cry harder, losers

I like how that NBC article call a $40B budget just a "fraction" of the overall budget. 40 Billion Dollars!


Remember when they couldn't find $25B to fund a border wall?
some leftist idiot on Twitter was claiming

"but the USAID budget is only .7% of the entire budget!!"

as if saving 50 billion dollars is meaningless.

because he knows the true amount of waste is near a trillion!

This is their usual song to keep spending. Everything matters, big or small. When I was in school, I had a lesson called "little drops of water make a mighty ocean". There is a lot of meaning to this.

Keep paying down the debt and show Americans and the world that we are not drunken sailors.

I paid down all my debt in 2018 and I don't foresee taking out any more unless I buy a house in the Bay Area. I recommend others do so too. The freedom is exhilarating.

Speaker Johnson was on Fox this morning, and this was being discussed as part of a larger conversation. I think I heard him say that what was left of USAID would get rolled into State.

But moreso, he said this is just part of a larger plan. They want the 2017 tax cuts codified and they've got to find the savings. Finding and eliminating waste like this is part of that and integral to the larger plan.

We have our own struggles with food, medicine, and water. Fix ours first before we worry about the world yet again.

We aren't a theocracy. Nothing is stopping you from giving every dime you own to charity.

Oh, and our government is doing nothing out of goodness, generosity, or allegiance to Jesus. This isn't religion.

What ever will they do without the heroin crops and 3 billion a year in gender science from the US Tax payer.

Again, the name of the agency itself is deceptive; there is no 'aid' in the US Agency for International Development.

It is about control, subservience, and power. If anything, its elimination is akin to a decolonization initiative. USAID, and the CIA writ large, are why so many people across the globe wind up hating Americans.

Oh, and our government, least of all the marxists at USAID, is not christian in its mission in the least. USAID is directly/partially responsible, if anything, for the repeated slaughters of Christian's throughout Africa, Asia and the Middle East over the past few decades.

No NGO's in North Carolina or Florida apparently to kick back the requisite 10%.
Maybe Oprah was able to kick back some Hawaii money, or did that all go to Barak?

10% OR 1/10... you know, JUST A FRACTION

Edit to add... My "yeah it's a fraction" was OOOOZONG with sarcasm. It's over 2% of discretionary spending!
I know it wasn't you I was mocking. It's the scum in Washington who fight to keep their gravy train going and don't give a damn about the US as a country or the American people

I didn't even this agency existed. No reason not to get rid of it, at least until the next dem gets in office.

Does anyone know where all the money saved from these cuts are going to go?

Well every American see money in their pocket right away from it or will the money go into other things Americans may or may not like?
1. Just because you "didn't even know the agency existed", doesn't mean it shouldn't be rid of.
2. Hope it goes to decrease the deficit.


That's why I said, "No reason not to get rid of it." If it's existence didn't affect me in the first place, getting rid of will continue to not effect me


As for decreasing the deficit, it would be good to see that happen and the money not just go into something Elon and Trump like instead.

President Trump, who was elected with a majority of both the electoral college and popular vote, appointed Musk under his presidential authority to run DOGE, root out waste in the federal government, and make recommendations for cuts to the president, and so far he's doing a bang up job.

Leftists may hate it, but there is nothing nefarious or improper about that. HTH.

Elon's not taking a pay check (and Trump donates his.). Or are you implying/agree that paying Chinese to learn to dance is not a particularly effective use of tax payer dollars?


I mean, it's got plenty of defenders…who have been on the dole for years.




Not attacking you, I'm just amazed there are people (primarily in leftist locations like reddit) up in arms about USAID being 'attacked' by Trump/Elon.

There's a reason no one goes after them, they know no matter who they are, or how rich they are, their family will immediately hear about how "accidental" their death was.

It is truly unbelievable what the Trump administration and DOGE are accomplishing in such a short amount of time. They have got the left and uni-parties heads spinning right now. This is the type of stuff that conservative voters have been begging for for so many years.
And now Trump has the big tech trending red, saw an article that Gates was even looking into the right turn the tech industry is doing and considering picking up on some of it.

A lot of people need to eat crow on here, that is one of the old guard RINO issues they latched to him. And I told yall he tried in his first term it was thrown in the trash by McConnell.

Now that he has a better grasp of the situation, look at what is happening. He needed a lot of help getting the message out, and he owes Musk a lot of thanks for doing that. Trump was trying with Truth Social and that would not have made a difference, not his fault, those "new twitters" never succeed

But yeah, Trump is making a lot of people on here look foolish, he is not the "big New York liberal" yall thought

Nothing more government than to let "Christian" things be funded by "Christians" and let government fund government things.
