how DOGE handled USAID was definitely one of the worst ways. there was no attempt made to examine what was critical, just to light it all on fire.
Critical? Critical to whom? Someone over in the Sudan or Norway or Bangladesh? I don't give a crap about them. I have three-hundred and fifty million Americans to care about. Three-hundred and fifty million Americans who are now saddled with nearly forty trillion dollars of debt because politicians on both sides insist on spending money we do not have. That's the fucking definition of debt. Money you spent that you didn't have.
do i need to state that stuff is all perishable? what good is served by letting it rot?
Well, let's start with the fact you can't transport it for free.. Thus the shorter the distance you have to transport it, the cheaper it is. I.e, we shouldn't be shipping that shit overseas. I'm fine with us distributing that to people in this country who don't have food security.
Using 2023 stats, so you can't accuse Trump of falsifying anything.. USAID spent $43.8 billion on foreign assistance, most of it humanitarian aid. Quick Google search says 1 in 7 US households faces food insecurity. Seems high to me, but OK. I'll accept it. That's 18.9 million households.. Let's round up to 19 million. They amount of money that USAID sent to a bunch of foreign fucks could have provided $2,263 (average) in food stamps to those nineteen million households.
While $50/week is hardly sufficient to feed even a family of two, it should have been spent here first since it's pretty clear we still have our own hunger problems to address.
That's the fucking problem. We're drowning in debt and y'all keep wanting to do everything for everybody. That's why the left started in with trying to demonize nationalism. They are the party of welfare, food stamps, and free housing/healthcare. Our debt will be 200% of GDP in just a few more years. THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. This is what's fucking driving inflation. All the liberal bullshit about corporations and banks somehow being behind inflation is absolutely fucking unhinged.. Every bit of that $40 trillion in debt was spent.. That means it's in circulation. Virtually mostly, there's a more than 20:1 ration between digital dollars and physical dollars.. But it's still in circulation. Aren't liberals the "educated" people? Then why don't any of them seem to understand basic economics? And next year? Next year we'll stack another three or four trillion dollars on top of what we have. In terms of total dollars, Obama presided over the largest deficits in US history. Almost $10 trillion during his two terms. He DOUBLED it. $10 trillion -> $20 trillion. (Just for the record)
How about we work on the spending, then work on the debt and then we can give a fuck about others? Don't act like you don't prioritize your family over others. Well, I'd prefer we expand that and prioritize AMERICANS over others.
Can't wait to hear how all of this makes me one of those evil, racist, heartless, fucks of a conservative. Lay it on me.
