Biden to ask Congress for $2.6B to promote gender equity

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he will ask Congress for $2.6 billion for foreign aid programs that promote gender equality worldwide, more than double the size of last year’s request.

Biden announced his intentions on International Women’s Day, which is set aside to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world.

Biden created the first-ever White House Gender Policy Council on International Women’s Day last year to help promote gender equity throughout the administration.

He said everyone deserves to live up to their “God-given” potential, regardless of gender, and that societies perform better when women and girls are allowed to prosper.

“Ensuring that every woman and girl has that chance isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s also a strategic imperative that advances the prosperity, stability, and security of our nation and the world,” the president said in a written statement.

Perfect. Punch me in the face with the highest rate of inflation in 40 years and then tell me you’re going to piss away over $2 billion on foreign aid. The US has given enough money to stupid studies. How about using that money to hire more boarder agents to shut our southern border?

I wonder just how those billions will help the plight of four billion females other than go into the bank accounts of corrupt foreigners.

It is money laundering.

Facts are facts - some of us are more equal than others! Excellent use of 2.6b bucks. The only other place that it could be better spent in a study in the flow rate of ketchup!

Nope, we need to put that money towards sealing off our border. Next, we need to increase domestic oil and gas production to stave off a home heating crisis in 9 months.
