Services to millions of people collapse as USAID cuts contracts worldwide

If they wanted to cut off food aid to millions of Sudanese, it should have been done in an open process.

"If you want to cut funding," Guedenet said "... there's a way to responsibly do that. And that is not what's being done. This is complete disregard for human life."

Trump doesn't care about human life. Trump only cares about himself.

Too much corruption. Too much debt. Too much bureaucracy. Long overdue.

They haven't found any corruption.

And if you think that Trump will address debt, you are mistaken. Trump intends to massively increase the debt.

Her next project is to show the links betw. the actors in the corruption. She says it involves family members, close friends & associates. For example, she says there are sitting members of Congress who serve on NGO boards who vote to fund those NGOs. 

I've been talking about the conflicts of interest almost all the "judges" have who are rendering rulings adverse to Pres. Trump & DOGE. Many of those conflicts relate to family members, often spouses, who serve of boards of NGOs funded by USAID & other govt'l entities..

You don't think that Musk has massive conflict of interests?

Tesla, SpaceX and other Musk businesses have been investigated or fined by about a dozen regulatory agencies including the CFPB, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Then Musk came in and fired the people investigating Musk's companies. No more investigations.

That's a massive conflict of interest.

"If you want to cut funding," Guedenet said "... there's a way to responsibly do that. And that is not what's being done. This is complete disregard for human life."

This surely must concern the Christians in Trump’s base who take the teachings of their saviour seriously.

Jesus, not Trump, Of course.

And the King did see the poor and needy and He said "screw 'em", and His minions rejoiced.

And the King did see the very richest and He said "these poor people, they need as much money as they can get", and His minions nodded.

And the King did ensure that the Kingdom became known for cruelty rather than kindness, and the very richest waved their wallets into the air.

As it stands, the House budget plan would allow for up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next 10 years and calls for perhaps $2 trillion in spending reductions. = + 2.5t in debt.

Trump is squeezing poor people all over the world so he can enrich himself and his cronies. Very smart, too, because they represent power, which is all he cares about.

But they have a nice pickle maker

Yeah, an immense wave of human suffering and dying has been unleashed because people in poor countries no longer get food and medicine they need to survive but clearly the need to crack down on layabout pickle makers makes their misery worthwhile.

And there it is - children across the world in poverty are being abandoned so some ultra-rich tech bro can buy another yacht...

And make no mistake, the poor little MAGA guy in American is next...

And Trump wasted much more than that with his one visit to the Superbowl, which did nothing to decrease the price of groceries. Oh, and it was also much less than the wasted money spent on Trump's stint at Daytona. And it was considerably less than NASA and SpaceX launching a rocket recently. It's also less money than Trump's use of taxpayer's money on his trips to the golf course so far.

I much rather taxpayer spent on goodwill towards poorer nations, thus improving the U.S.'s standing in the world, and setting up potential beneficial deals with other countries, than on Trump's hobbies or enjoyment.

Finally, a stop to the wasteful spending to this organization.

This will make the countries who were receiving this aid realize they need to cut fraud waste and abuse if they want further US aid, and strengthen the place of the US on the global stage as those countries will overtly recognize the importance of aid from the US.

Another great win for Trump!

Why was our US government providing “services” to “people” (non Americans) @worldwide”?

Notice the quotation marks around “people”.

By the way, by cutting off aid to these countries, you essentially cut off funding to farmers and pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. which have contracts with USAID to provide food and medicine. You actually hurt the American people and American companies doing business with USAID.

china will use this opportunity to send aid and build infrastructure to these countries to further advance its current dominance in the supply chain of critical minerals.

as the world leader in minerals, they recently cut off exports of tungsten and other critical minerals, which will create a significant impact to many american manufacturers of car parts and machine parts, plus an enormous impact on chip plants.

as the world leader in titanium processing, it's getting ready to ban exports of it. again, an important material for manufacturing, cars, aircraft and weapons.

no, ukraine has none of these minerals. trump is destroying america by destroying the influence of america.

the aid from america was money and jobs in the pockets of american farmers and companies supplying the goods. it was supporting a portion of the american economy as well as saving lives and fostering good will in international relations.

Finally, a stop to the wasteful spending to this organization.

What wasteful spending? It is terribly naive to think the US was giving aid just out of kindness, this was a form of soft power that clearly benefitted the US policies around the world and was done to advance many different kinds of interests.

That the US is accepting not being in a position of power anymore (and can't have the luxury of using soft power) gives a very strong message that the rest of the countries are taking very seriously. Alliances and deals that took decades to form that benefited the US are now shifting towards Russia and China instead.

Not to count the many Americans that are ruined by the collapse, from workers to producers. USAID was a huge source of economic growth for the US, not only political.

Why was our US government providing “services” to “people” (non Americans) @worldwide”?

It's called "aid". It's right in the name, it should have given you a clue. I don't know if you're familiar with the concept? Helping people in need? You know, like most rich blue states help the poor red ones. Just like that, but with human beings in other countries

It's called "aid". It's right in the name, it should have given you a clue.

USAID stands for the United States Agency for International Development.

It’s not US AID.

Not to count the many Americans that are ruined by the collapse, from workers to producers. USAID was a huge source of economic growth for the US, not only political.

But you don't understand, virusrex! It's only (the appearance of) victory that counts! Trolling liberals and drinking their tears! Ruining american people's lives is completely irrelevant!

I don't know if you're familiar with the concept? Helping people in need? 

no it’s alien to me when we are 36 trillion in debt and when have Americans still starving and homeless and drug addicted.

“charity starts at home”

Notice the quotation marks around “people”.

yes those are used when quoting things.

such as words directly from the headline of this article.

no it’s alien to me when we are 36 trillion in debt and when have Americans still starving and homeless and drug addicted.

But as people have pointed out, cutting USAID also tremendously and needlessly hurts american workers. So you don't care about those particular americans?

Also, how does cutting medicaid factor in your "My heart hurts for my poor countrymen" equation? You, of course, strongly oppose that, right? As you oppose cutting benefits for the poor and needy, I surmise.

Maybe you should read Trump's budget bill...just say'in...

"As part of the Trump budget submission, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will cut $880 billion from programs it oversees over the next decade, which can’t be achieved without cutting Medicaid, even if the committee cuts all other programs down to $0."

Lou Reed wrote this in 1989. Little seems to have changed.

Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - I'll piss on 'em

That's what the Statue of Bigotry says

Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death

And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

nobody is cutting Medicaid

That's very optimistic of you!

and it’s unrelated to sending our tax money to foreign countries

It's very much related when the argument you're trying to make is "we can't help foreigners because we have so much americans in need!". My counter-argument is that you actually don't really care about other americans. If you did, you wouldn't actively support policies that hurt them.

Dark days indeed.

Critical USAID services, those truly humanitarian will remain, taken over by US State Dept. Seems about 90% had a political and financial agenda pursued by Deep State Bureaucrats, hence the $cuts and layoffs

USAID was a poster child for Govt. corruption and self-dealing, kickbacks and fraud, waste and abuse. US voters do not want humanitarian efforts politized and corrupted for financial gain.

As recent former Ambassador to Japan and WH Chief of Staff under Pres. Obama, R. Emanual stated this month, "Democrats have to carefully pick their fights, I'm not going to die on the USAID Hill"

nobody is cutting Medicaid

that's not what the budget says. all the money for medicaid is zeroed out on the budget.

typical cult blindness. "cut foreign aid and keep the money for americans! america first!"

trump: "uh, no." we're not giving you peasants any, but we're making the best health insurance plan ever-- none! i've got $4 trillion of tax cuts to give to the top 1%, though."

Sad because of the total disregard for human life, but a giant step in making the US irrelevant on the world stage.

Sad that the left didn’t have those worries over the last 4 years, like James Carville said, his parties obsession with Trump got them slaughtered

The US wasn't irrelevant over the past 4 years. It is ya boy Trump making that possible.

Well isn't this interesting...Marco Rubio, a firm supporter of USAID while a Senator, approved several USAID programs as SECSTATE...but those program were CANCELLED by Musk and his DOGE stooges...

"During his years in the U.S. Senate, now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio was a strong supporter of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) — which he viewed as a valuable asset from a foreign policy standpoint. Rubio and Senate Democrats had plenty of disagreements, but they agreed that foreign aid via USAID did a lot to advance the United States' interests abroad. But now, USAID is a major target of the Trump Administration and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Experiencing mass layoffs, USAID is being gutted by MAGA Republicans. Axios reported that 92 percent of foreign assistance grants were being "axed." According to NOTUS reporter Haley Byrd Wilt, spending Rubio approved as secretary of state was blocked by DOGE staffers.'

So what's up with this MAGA-fans? Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing?

The latest cancellations come as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration nears completion of a review to ensure that grants are aligned with his "America First" agenda after ordering a 90-day pause on all foreign aid in January to assess whether projects were consistent with his policy aims.

It would be poor government policy to not go through with such an assessment. Trump is doing what he promised to the US voters. Thank you Trump for listening to the American people.

What wasteful spending?

You have to read up on the issue instead of just reacting to an unfamiliar headline and saying, "What?.

Fight is really over transparency, Dems do not want DOGE and Musk digging up dirt in any Agency, especially USAID. The Dems 'doth protest too much'.

Exactly how can the Executive Branch 'manage' its Agencies if it is unable to conduct digital audits?

DOGE and Musk will succeed because of recent SCOTUS rulings. All Federal Agencies, starting with USAID will be reigned-in by the Executive Branch.

Agencies must align with the Executive's Mgmt. vision, clearly USAID not doing so, hence elimination, too broken to fix etc.

Eventually everything will be put on the BLOCKCHAIN for maximum accountability moving forward in order to prevent fraud, waste and abuse = Musk End Game

You have to read up on the issue instead of just reacting to an unfamiliar headline and saying, "What?.

So you could not come up with any actual waste, good that you recognize it.

Fight is really over transparency, Dems do not want DOGE and Musk digging up dirt in any Agency, especially USAID. The Dems 'doth protest too much'.

To be completely fair DOGE have demonstrated such gross incompetence that nobody would be interested in them doing anything at all for any kind of agency that is expected to function properly afterwards. Of course those that just want to destroy functionality will direct the incompetence to anything that is against their interests, coincidentally the involved agencies have all acted against Musk interests, which makes this understandable if not justifiable.

So you could not come up with any actual waste, good that you recognize it.

So you can just say "What?" Good you recognize that.

This is not your area as the American electoral system put a democratically elected person into the office of the presidency, and as a voter of Trump I understand the basic concept that he is doing what he said he would do; for non-US citizens who are not eligible to participate in that process they are left with the freedom of speech to just say, "What?"

So you could not come up with any actual waste, good that you recognize it.

Have you actually read through the list of "projects" the audit has uncovered? If you don't consider any of it waste, the problem is with you, not DOGE.

Of course those that just want to destroy functionality will direct the incompetence to anything that is against their interests, coincidentally the involved agencies have all acted against Musk interests, which makes this understandable if not justifiable.

These agency haven't been functioning properly, unless you consider wasting taxpayers' money a proper function. They needed a good cleanout, and the longer the rot is left to fester, the worse it gets. That's why the cleanout will be painful to some, but necessary.

So you can just say "What?" Good you recognize that.

And with that demonstrate that your claim is baseless, a simple question and you replied with nothing. As expected.

This is not your area as the American electoral system put a democratically elected person into the office of the presidency

Irrelevant to the claim that you made about wasteful spending, being unable to identify any example clearly proves this was not the case, a claim abandoned for lack of evidence.

None of which could be presented as wasteful spending except by naively pretending the USA is just giving out aid without getting anything back.

None of which could be presented as wasteful spending except by naively pretending the USA is just giving out aid without getting anything back.

That's quite a stretch, even from you. Pray tell, how do you measure what the US got back from all this profligate, unaccountable spending?

U.S.-funded projects worldwide, including those providing lifesaving care for millions of people in countries such as Sudan and South Africa,

Yes, but also including many that are corrupt, wasteful, money laundering schemes; which for some reason we never seem to hear about on the MSM...

The US wasn't irrelevant over the past 4 years.

It is, Biden and the Dems are not in office. That is a bullet dodge.

Nice thing about audits, have actual dollars and actual data related to those dollars. All Presidents have discretion to manage Federal Agencies to pursue his/her Executive Vision. SCOTUS reaffirmed above recently.

Thus, what's wasteful, unnecessary and inefficient to one President could be far different in future. Fraud and corruption are clearly unacceptable under any circumstance.

That's quite a stretch, even from you. Pray tell, how do you measure what the US got back from all this profligate, unaccountable spending?

USAID strengthens U.S. influence through humanitarian aid, economic partnerships, and institutional development. By fostering goodwill, the agency helps secure diplomatic relationships, promotes political and economic models favorable to U.S. interests, and mitigates instability.

Yes, but also including many that are corrupt, wasteful, money laundering schemes; which for some reason we never seem to hear about on the MSM...

Oh, you mean the wasteful, corrupt and money laundering scheme that gave aid to Gaza?

https://abcnews.go.com/International/shutting-usaid-major-impacts-gaza-aid/story?id=118393336

There is a point where it becomes clear that the priority is to hurt people considered undesirables, even if that means hurting your own interests as well, many people will still support this because the primary victims are in a lower category and should be left aside.

What's going to be interesting is when all the project managers etc start looking for funding, and find the only option is China.

There'll be some who, for various reasons, reject that option out of hand and destroy the project. There'll be some who reject the option, and get replaced by someone who sees the project as too important to allow it to be destroyed. There'll be some who delay, and get lucky to find a different source before the project is destroyed, and others who will delay, but eventually turn to China for funding. There will be some who don't hesitate turning to China for funding.

And they'll all be criticized for whatever decisions they make.

But most of these projects will eventually end up being funded by China for at least a year or two before the US funding is available again. That's where an interesting situation develops. The criticism for being funded by China will be a 'sunk cost' by then so why would those project managers switch back to American funding, which is almost certainly going to be smaller, and less stable then than it was last year.

And most of them are in places OUTSIDE the White Bloc, where things like supporting the Azovian and JSIP regimes are controversial.

Even if the 'cut' only lasts a year or two, and even if all the funding is available and stable then, things won't simply reset.

Lots of aid organizations and the people who rely on them won't see China as a problematic source of funding, they'll see it as the country that helps them, and view critics of it, and them, as problematic instead.

Yes, but also including many that are corrupt, wasteful, money laundering schemes; which for some reason we never seem to hear about on the MSM...

Another one.

What sources would you recommend to get a better knowledge of this.

Links would be nothing short of absolutely spectacular.

Virusrex, there's a big difference between judiciously projecting soft power with useful infrastructure projects and just throwing it at projects that appeal to the political preferences of USAID, not to mention the connections of their friends. The CFR, whose article you link to above, is riddled with people with interests in USAID, so there's a definite conflict of interest there.

There is a point where it becomes clear that the priority is to hurt people considered undesirables

You'd know all about that, wouldn't you? Undesirables like those who refused to take experimental substances and uncover the corruption of those who made and promoted them.

Some USAID monies spent are beyond the pale, for example. $520M to a consultant to promote ESG in Africa? Even 1000x less money would a Red Flag!

But it’s a US Senator who confirms she was shown this evidence personally. She and her staff are lying?

“Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Wednesday….”

none of the MSM will tell you this.

Virusrex, there's a big difference between judiciously projecting soft power with useful infrastructure projects and just throwing it at projects that appeal to the political preferences of USAID

What projects do not appeal to the US that you can mention? you are making the claims then you are the one that should be providing evidence, yet you don't do it.

You'd know all about that, wouldn't you? Undesirables like those who refused to take experimental substances and uncover the corruption of those who made and promoted them.

Still making false claims about what other people have said? there is a huge difference with letting people assume the consequences of their own actions and considering them inferior as those that rejoice in the destruction of the USAID since that means Palestinians will be much closer to eradication.

But it’s a US Senator who confirms she was shown this evidence personally. She and her staff are lying?

A politician lying? When that has ever happened in the history of human kind?

Why would any real American taxpaying person or anyone with common sense not want to see how their tax money is really being spent. (Simple- because they can’t let conservatives succeed). If it were your company you do audits, IRS audits people for minor infractions. If there is nothing to hide, there should not be a problem. And from what I've seen so far. There is an extremely massive problem that needs to be fixed. If the Biden administration was doing what the Trump administration is doing now, then I’d have to rethink my voting choices which I’ve done before. R to D to R is my progression so far.

They wanted to hire 87,000 more armed IRS agents to audit the American people. Selling your old stuff online more than $600 a year? Pay that tax, citizen!

But millions and billions to foreign countries? Nah you don’t get to see that or take any actions to stop it, taxpayer.

It is the responsibility of every government to protect and feed its people. However, this responsibility is over shadowed by foreign aid acting as incentives not to solve the impeding problems in long term but prolong them as long as the money keeps on coming on. It's about time every elected government start taking care of its own people and other resources.

I find it both amusing and deeply disturbing that people on this forum accusing the Trump administration of fascism and the like are more than happy use government power to pursue political enemies when their preferred party is in power, claiming to do it "for the good of the country".

And they're happy to look the other way when their own side is allowing/promoting enormous waste, but get upset when someone comes in and take the chainsaw to that waste. The hypocrisy is stratospheric.

Trump strongly believes the US State Dept. can absorb the critical humanitarian functions of formerly USAID and do so in a much more efficient manner.

The DLT Agency restructuring has a purpose, improve outcomes, both on the cost side and on the 'mission' side, like saving lives due to starvation, disease etc.

This does absolutely nothing to refute the fact that the situation in Gaza became much more dire thanks to the collapse of the USAID, people do justify the disaster because this is the main point of the actions, stop helping "inferior" people even if that means Americans will face ruin as well, the problems Americans have to face because of the collapse is seen as a worthy sacrifice to make those other "people" suffer.

Utter hogwash. USAID has only just been shut down, but the calamity in Gaza has been going on for years, with the worst of it during Biden's presidency. But don't let that inconvenience fact get in the way. Clearly, whatever USAID had been doing up until early February hasn't been working. It only seems to bother you now because you hate the current administration.

In any case, why should it just be up to the US to solve this problem? What about the surrounding ME states, which share a religion and a lot of cultural similarity with the Gazans? They aren't doing squat to help.

And since you've got plenty of time to post here, why not go over to the DOGE site and have a look for yourself at the waste identified and savings made?
