The provisions placed by the Democrats are utterly absurd. The headlines discuss the issue of health care without mentioning the endless demands they’ve made that in no way benefit America or the American people. Half of our elected representatives are refusing to reopen the government unless the GOP agrees to send $5 billion in taxpayer funds to foreign nations.
What will these foreign nations do with our $5 billion in aid so crucial that the US government cannot effectively operate without it? Naturally, the majority of the package ($1.8 billion) will be funneled through USAID into NGOs that line politicians’ pockets. The organization will also require an additional $200 for administration costs.
Global Health and PEPFAR-linked Programs requires $900 million to fund globalist disease-based control through shady NGOs, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF. Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (International Disaster Assistance) to the tune of $850 million must be sent to places like Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. Peacekeeping and Security Support will require $700 million and will be spent on FAILED missions in Haiti, Lebanon, and Mali, among others.
Forget America’s economy—the Democrats wants to provide $600 million to the Economic Support Fund (ESF) & Democracy Initiatives. The money will go toward anti-corruption measure, ironically, and governance and freedom programs throughout Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since the debt ceiling is of no concern, the Democrats want to spend another $440 to global organizations like FAO, UNDP, and the International Development Association.
The situation becomes stranger when you look at the details. Honduras apparently needs $25 million in aid immediately for “climate resiliency.” The Balkans require $5 million LGBTQ democracy grants. There is a plan to send $2 million to support Democratic feminist principles in Africa. Again, half of America’s elected officials believe the government simply cannot operate without this funding.
The Democrats cannot fathom why Republicans are not willing to spend an additional $1.5 TRILLION. That’s adding 25% of all federal spending on top of the current budget. Yet, these politicians grab their microphones and cry that the GOP wants to prevent “middle-class folk” from achieving the American dream.
These people have destroyed the middle class and are intent on destroying the US economy because their actions only benefit their wallets rather than the people.
I'm betting the money benefits their pet NGOs. Starve them.
USAID is the Dem money laundering operation.
Why does it still exist?
None of Trump’s changes are permanent. They’re just waiting out his term.
Yep USAID was a gravy train for democrat NGO’s.
Of course they will always demand their pork.
Since the DemonRats support groups that support terrorism, their party should be declared a terrorist organization!
Corruption is worse than mere pork.
We are being extorted by our own government. These guys would make the mob blush.
Why is this Commies In America funnymunny op still in existence? I thought Trump shut it down.
Smash it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind.
This is the reason right there. The Democrats (and I suspect a number of Republicans) have been using that cash flow. Sorry, the laundry is closed.
Trump should stay on message that the Rats lost the election and don’t get to determine the budget. Elections have consequences, or else we don’t live in a “democracy”.
Are we kidding ourselves here?! Almost none of those billions are going to those projects!
THE MONEY IS BEING STOLEN. Duh!
“Keep in mind our debt is already mathematically impossible to pay off. There are only two results, keep printing money ( hyper inflation) or go into default”
A value added tax, which the EU insists be levied in each EU country, could raise enough money. Rates can be as high as 22% that I know of.
The Brits are likely to undergo a wealth tax raid.
$5 billion so they can get $3 billion in kickbacks ?
Sell federal land in California to open the government
If Somalians can get to Minnesota, Pakistanis can get to Yorkshire and Afghans can get to Dover, then perhaps Third World folk aren’t as needy as we might otherwise think.
We certainly should not be paying for their perversions.
